The thing is, he's always been very professional. The only red flag I've seen over several years is his not taking responsibility for anything.

As someone said, client blaming is a hallmark of the biz. Mine was professional (mostly) too but when the sht hit the fan, she wouldn't take responsibility either. Some narcissism emerged that was not discernible previously. Scar-ry.

That sounds like abuse.

Jeez, I kinda thought a good T was supposed to tolerate anger and not take it personally. If he found it insulting and demeaning, he can go see his own therapist and work though that. Are you supposed to comfort him now? Sounds like a nightmare. But at least you quit, you told him how you really feel. Kinda sounds like you are being the mature and rational one.
