I silently shake my head when I hear the label "infantilizing". The act just might help the person move forward. But, we have to label everything usually with negative connotations, and give it an age range that renders many things inappropriate. Gah...
I too, like your new therapist style. Glad you are moving forward. I hope you shoot for an A+ on your homework.

I was a bit shocked when I first read this but my T is existential and I have a friend who's worked in Gestalt. I have learned to work with big ideas and lots of information. Maybe it takes us out of our comfort zones. The Universe does not put things in boxes and label things , We do.
