I'm so glad to hear this, echos. He has always seemed to be what you needed in a therapist, and now he's showing why. It's so helpful when a therapist will do a self-check like that and consider what they are bringing to sessions. I'm in a struggle of miscommunication myself, but there are no signs of my therapist understanding how badly this has gone. Good for you for getting it sorted out so quickly (quickly, to me, maybe not to you).
