A while ago we were discussing T's thoughts and feelings about working with me, and he said that when I came to him from T1 he experienced jealousy because of my strong feelings and connection to T1 which I had been honest about not feeling towards him. I really admired his courage in making that disclosure because it can't have been easy to admit, and it didn't bother me that he had felt that.
Last session we were talking about a time I contemplated seeing both Ts, but T1 wouldn't see clients who had a second therapist, so I said "I couldn't have done that because I wouldn't have been able to lie to T1". After that conversation, T said "By the way, I noticed you didn't say you wouldn't be able to lie to me". There was something about the way he said it that sounded sort of insecure and like he was seeking reassurance (which I gave him, and I said I felt compelled to reassure him that session).
That seeming insecurity is out of character with how I usually perceive him. I don't know if I'm making too much of this, or whether he is still feeling jealous about my feelings towards T1. I'm finding it quite unsettling, the more I think about it.
Is this my issue or his? I don't know whether it's really therapy material, but it's bothering me.
