Yeah I still go through a roller coast of highs and lows of feelings and emotions through the day depending on what is happening but I think that happens to everyone.
I may never return to baseline as fast as "others" do. So what....right?

agreed...no one's issues every fully go away, but what does change is we learn to manage them better. to me, it sounds like you are doing just fine learning how to manage your issues better. healing is a life long process and so is growing. if the things you are doing to help sooth, connect to ,and love your inner child part(s) is working for you, then so what?? cherish what feels right for you in your heart and just because someone else may be uncomfortable with it or does not agree, does not mean they are correct. and remember, you are the expert on you.
as others have already stated, to me, this seems more about your T and his feelings of inadequacy and frustration and he is taking the piss on you for it. i hope you can discuss this more with him and share your feelings of being annoyed and invalidated.
