See, my T wants me to take him out of the room with me. To internalize him. Sure, eventually he won't be there and perhaps I won't need to take him with me anymore -- but for now it's who I have until I can develop that within myself.

So many Ts seem to misunderstand this part of the process. Of course we can't have them come home with us -- but that holding space they create in the room -- THAT can go home with us. They are not fostering dependence by becoming our introject -- they are actually fostering eventual independence.
