LT at the end of the day if the dynamic isn't working for you, you have every right to move on. Each therapist is different and the dynamic will be different - you may well find someone who is less triggering where you can really get into your emotions and feel safe enough to move forward. I saw a T who often told me how I 'made' her feel and it used to lead to terrible ruptures, with me also feeling as though she was making it all about her. There is a fine line in therapy for when that sort of thing truly benefits the client and when it causes more problems. Eventually I did move on and as you know current T is amazing, so safe and compassionate, and although she does disclose certain things she is always 100% focused on me. Funnily enough, the difficulties I was experiencing with the former T have never re-energed in the same way as that particular relationship was causing a lot of it!
