I was captivated by this thread, and especially the three years later update . You and your T! really DID create a human connection that is real. This example of a T genuinely caring is good medicine, and I am so glad he really meant it he would see you through your journey. It is uplifting that you bonded to your new T but not as painfully as the moment shared with PC three years ago reflected. It is also so cool that a forum member was able to join you in the room for just a few minutes, and lend a huge strength to you when you needed it, and you were able to use it well , be brave, and take a leap of faith in myriad ways.

I wouldn't want to be the wife of a psychologist, and I resent the heck out of my psychologist's wife bc she is anti his working much. There is a touching sincerity in your T calling you. Maybe others will feel differently about that, but I love the messiness of it, and how a real connection prevails over the rules.
