You're so right... her answer sucked. And the answer you expected IS the right answer, that's exactly what you want to hear. You don't want a T who is reactive and bringing her own ego into your therapy.

Do these T's say they work with attachment? Because really, the things you've expressed that you do with boundaries is run of the mill client behaviour lol it's really not unusual.
It is a delicate balance between being totally honest and upfront so they know what they are getting themselves into and packaging and marketing yourself as this really awful, challenging client. Because if you do that they're just seeing a potentially (self-confessed) big problem in front of them and not Yearning, the girl, the person, the massive potential.
