My first T did that, more than once. I made the mistake of engaging with him and even went back to have a couple more sessions a year after our original termination, mostly out of curiosity (I did not get why he was chasing me so much). I regretted going back and definitely would not do it again. It just created frustrations I did not have otherwise and a series of ugly fights that had no relevance to my life. Maybe the only "good" thing in it was that I really got to see more of the real him and it convinced me that the weird conflicts we had were due to his insecurities and sloppiness primarily, and that he tried to project those onto me without being receptive to any feedback.

In my case, I think the T contacted me and insisted because I exposed some serious sore spots in him and he probably felt very uncomfortable with that memory. I imagine that's why he tried to project and turn it all back to me, hoping that I would buy into that game and that the crap was coming from my distortions and transference. That surely might have given some relief to someone like him. But it did not work. He did not want to let me go even after the second ugly round though - that only demonstrates, to me, that he has serious issues controlling his own feelings. I have never had a similar experience with anyone else in my life before/after - just another proof that it wasn't my "repetition compulsion" at all. I could very easily see how he would be able to manipulate someone less skeptical and more agreeable and/or fearful. It was kinda fascinating and often almost unbelievable the, the sort of things that T did, in a creepy way of course.

I sometimes still check out the Ts online activity (lots of social media) out of curiosity and I can see he has not changed a bit and keeps repeating the same things over and over, truly like a broken record. If anything, he has only gotten weirder.
