Thanks LolaGrace. Yes, I think I'll need to ask him about the paper. I probably will not spend time asking him for details on how he does supervision (other than asking if he shares things I've written) b/c it's not really that important, in the end, if he talks about me for 5 minutes or 5 days . I guess?

Ugh, or maybe what I need to do is just tell him the truth which is, it freaks me out, because the last T that needed help with me ended up kicking me out after getting me diagnosed, he used the "consultation" and diagnosis as an excuse to get rid of me, and it was a really bad experience.

Thanks Echos... it's actually really to hear how your T handles it, and I hadn't considered that before, but it does make a certain kind of sense. I imagine it's hard to give a supervisor all the pertinent details, describe the problems, then talk through all the thoughts, possible ways of handling it, possible outcomes, etc in just a few minutes...

Thanks NowhereUSA - My T isn't part of a bigger practice, so I imagine (though it's a guess) that his supervision is just one-on-one, not a whole room full of Ts (oh gosh, let's hope it's not a whole roomful of Ts.) Good to hear it's not likely to include sharing writings though!

Willowbrook - oh wow! How awesome to have a T that stands up for you like that, and is so very adamantly committed to sticking with you and helping you.... you're lucky to have that person in your life!
