well, either ex-T failed his motivational interviewing training or he was just being an arse in that moment when he blindsided me towards the end of our session
realistically, it more likely was related to him becoming accredited in ISTDP (intensive short term dynamic psychotherapy) at that time and he was practicing his new technique on me. fortunately, i ended therapy before he completed his accreditation. i hear ISTDP can come off feeling somewhat confrontational and that definitely would not have been a modality i would have liked or found useful.
