Hi Echos Myron,
I can really relate to what you are saying because you describe the transition from an insecure to a secure attachment so well.
I found myself that when I had a t who could provide me with the safety and containment I needed I didn't need to test her boundaries because somehow I knew she could hold me. I think your t has held you in a similar way and no the transference has increased because he has begun to share and treat you as a trainee. Sometime I find with a lot of disclosures that I want to know more about t, is this a part of it for you? I don't find myself testing the boundaries as much now because t has met me every time I have tested her boundaries. She has never given up or gave out to me, she understands because she has been there.
Perhaps you are testing your t because you can't believe that he is still there for you and a part is trying to see if you can push him away!
