Yes, despite the negative transference, I do really like my T, and something about making an appointment with another T and discussing it openly with my T and watching him be kind, supportive and nondefensive about it has probably been good for our relationship which was unexpected. I do plan to talk to him again about whether he thinks progress can be made at once/week.

I also agree that it’s possibly not so much what the new T’s answers are to my questions as how she answers them.
