I did get let down by a T the same sex as an asshole parent , but she was an asshole T. But I don't think talking gets all of it and it needs other things - your T's approach sounds very good. When I first entered EMDR ( with another T , not regular T ) the first thing we had to reprocess was me getting retraumatised by the asshole T. Good luck with whatever you decide.

That's
literally what it's about. The event I want to reprocess is exactly that. So maybe the only good way to get past it is to reframe it. My weariness towards trusting him comes up every once in a while and I always have to discuss it with him. It just hasn't been this bad in a long time, probably because of the sore spot we've been talking about the last two weeks. Luckily he's not an asshole T and never has been or I probably would have walked straight out the door a long time ago and never worked on the trust. I got lucky considering I ended up seeing him in college by pure chance. I had no freakin clue back then just how important the therapist-client relationship really was.
