Sorry i think I may have worded my post in a confusing way. I get that not all Ts need to talk to previous providers, so the fact they talked is not necessarily a “standard”, but my T meant that what was said in the conversation was standard. It was partly my choice to have ex T talk to new T. Partly because I’m still very attached to her and partly because I’m hoping new T will help me process the closure and termination with ex T and partly because I don’t want to repete the same patterns with new T.
