I may never return to baseline as fast as "others" do. So what....right?

Does EMDR help with that? I never tried it and don't know much about it.
It seemed like T was steering you away from the past relational feelings? You said you had painful transference with every T you ever had and they became a surrogate parent. I'm not sure how many different Ts you've tried, but it seemed maybe he was trying something different altogether to avoid that.
Aside from EMDR, sometimes closing up the past can lead can be the catalyst to move forward. Shut it down....Feeling the transference, with all the child feelings and dependency, can be disempowering if you get stuck there.
