I appreciate my Ts' protective feelings, but I've absolutely clashed with J (my interim T between exT and current T -- and the one I see when current T is on vacation) and with Group T when the 2 of them discussed exT and whether or not they were required to report him. Sheer panic on my part.... and anger. But then I realized that being protected doesn't always feel good.... and I was grateful that someone had actually considered protecting me (and exT's other clients of course). They ultimately did not report him, which I appreciated. I did feel cared about.

Current T expresses protective feelings... that feels good.

I want my autonomy and adulthood respected...but it's good to feel protected too...
