I also like reading your stories, LT. Don't read them all, in part because I just don't spend that much time on PC, but typically I would read a report or two and then am very curious about the follow-up, what people comment etc. My opinion (and this may be controversial) is if we post on a public forum, we should be prepared to see all sorts of responses, and if we don't like some, it's our own responsibility to handle that and not to put our discomfort on other posters and scold them. I do agree with others that you seem to handle this wonderfully - whether it causes anxiety or irritation, you don't tend to project it onto others here. That, to me, demonstrates a good level of internal strength and ability to tell apart your problems from others', also decent boundaries in communication

For me, all these attachment/interpersonal anxieties are not something I tend to experience much or ever wanted to work on in therapy. I am more on the other side and can sometimes be dismissive and take people's feelings for granted - for me progress goes in the opposite direction, becoming more attentive to these things. So reading how someone else's stories, who is highly sensitive to this stuff, helps me recognize and remain aware of how it's better to communicate with different people. I guess I can learn from it a bit like your T does from you

It is also interesting how we all infuse your stories with subjective feelings and interpretations. It's a bit like your therapy provides some free therapy to many of us here. There are sometimes threads here on PC that unfold quite a lot like some kind of group therapy experience, and I always like those. So much stuff to think about and reflect on (whether in sharing here or just internally) and no need to go anywhere and pay anything.

I personally still like your T, and it's very clear to me that I do because his emotional, thinking and communication style seems to have similarities to mine, including what you and others find limitations. I think only you can say whether working with him is useful for you and worth the challenge. Reading your recent reports though, it sounds like you find it helpful and constructive, and that's all that matters!
