I end up crossing things off my mental list as possible topics to address with T, because their reactions either frustrate me, or are just not helpful.
I don't understand this... because again, I've had friends that were wonderful and incredibly helpful to talk to. . .

Maybe it's the T's, not you. Maybe they don't care that much. Maybe you are picking up on the real cues, it's just not what you expected or wanted? It's great that you DO have friends that you can talk and relate to, so you know what the real thing is like.
And your current T may be able to help in some ways, just maybe not in the ways you were expecting? Hope talking about the articles helps. Thanks again for posting them, very interesting.
