I'm hyper alert to being manipulated. Even if the manipulation is designed to benefit me, I feel more confident if I am aware of what is going on.
But, I'm not too bothered and it doesn't make me angry or distrustful of T.

I'm with you in this, PeeJay. I'm not upset by current T's manipulations; I understand for the most part why he does it and that it's to benefit me. I was really hurt by some of the things previous T did though.
I think when I started with her I had no idea what to expect and I was in a very bad place. I was completely blindsided by a maternal transference and my natural reaction, because I didn't understand what was happening, was to fight the attachment. Of course it's like quicksand, the harder I fought, the deeper I went.
Things are much calmer with current T, thankfully enough.
