LT, from the last couple notes I have the same impression as before a few times. I personally really like your T's style but he overdoes it at times and these were some of those times IMO. That extensive discussion about how he would not tell you about his son does sound annoying and unnecessary even for me. I think there would be much more respectful and satisfying ways to settle that without having to become warm and fuzzy or self-disclose. It's like when people say "I have a strong opinion / would have a lot to say on the topic but am not going to tell you". I do agree with creating narratives though via extrapolating and fantasy whether the reality matches that or not. Have you ever thought about becoming a private investigator? Just kidding

Maybe a therapy break would not be such a bad idea at some point, if for nothing else, to see what happens and self-assess the details of how you would cope with it? I imagine it would be a bit like some sort of acute withdrawal, at least initially. Your T does not tend to let you experience that because he always eventually responds and often offers you emergency sessions. Mine were similar in that sense so I could only create it for myself when I took breaks and eventually quit for good. For me that was the best decision I believe, but breaks might be useful just to learn more about yourself in ways you generally would not want to? I don't know, I don't think you are I have enough similarities for me to make good enough suggestions, just an idea.
