I decided to take a break from him and see another T. I found that I wasn't developing an attachment to T2 and I was making better progress with him. As a result I terminated with T1 and continued with T2. It was painful to leave T1 and I grieved (still do) but I am in no doubt I made the right decision. Distance from the attachment allowed me to examine the reasons for it. I am moving forward in a way I couldn't have with T1.
I don't know whether trying a different T would be right for you or not, but wanted to offer you a different perspective

Wow...I darn near could have written your post! Only I've not left my T because the thought is too painful, but at the same time the change in boundaries (taking things away after offering them) is immensely hurtful, even 5 months later. It's good to read your post and know you have been in that exact same position. Thank you for posting it. My God it hurts...
