I enjoy following this thread, thanks for sharing all this in one place, LT And I like your T, he is probably my favorite from the ones people post quite detailed reports about here on PC. I don't think I have ever found Ts that were a very good fit with me but, from the way I imagine, someone like yours might be a decent match and easy to work with. Kinda straightforward, direct, practical, relatively uncomplicated and not infusing interactions and experiences with things unnecessarily and in distorted ways. Open about limits, what sorts of things are challenging for him, but also open to reasonable challenge.

I am really glad to hear that you feel like progressing with him, not only in therapy but also in daily life! I am sure you mentioned much earlier but may I ask how you found this T in the first place?
