I can relate, I adored one of my ts. I especially loved her hugs at the end of sessions. She was like a surrogate mother to me but I didn't want to be a baby any more, I wanted to be more adult and to grow and develop. With her I regressed because she didn't push, she allowed me to be where I was. Sometimes I need directive counselling and at other times when I am pushed and don't need it I get furious. So it can be hard for therapists to judge if we don't tell them. I was surprised that Kashi was Cbt and dbt but then I remembered one of your first sessions where he was directive and tried to sign you into his DBT group without asking.
