I really do hope to find a new T at some point, or even really hope that he might go into private practice to avoid the university regulations. Not that I want to be in therapy, per se, but as he put it, "there's a lot there" and I don't want to think where I'd be without it.
I think intellectualizing can be a defense against overwhelming emotions. Could you have minimized the connection to keep from possibly getting hurt? This would be good to discuss with your new therapist should you decide.to get one. I wish you the best of luck. Keep posting, and let us know how it goes.
