My mother issues are really straightforward. She turned me into a mini-therapist and dumped on me during my teenage years and *still* tries to manipulate emotional support out of me (through guilt and shame, except I'm not easily guilted and shamed by her anymore).


Since my T is DBT trained, we don't spend a lot of time analyzing it specifically, but really just focus on how to deal with boundaries, expressing my needs, and altering the way I interact with people. It fits my personality to a T. Don't want to try to find my inner child thanks because I'm all grown up LOL.


And so yeah, my male T is very straightforward, to the point, and he means what he says. Sometimes I've made the mistake of reading into something and he's like, "What?" *blink blink* So clueless and so transparent. Perfect
