She said that T and I shouldn't try to reconstruct what happened and why everything got so messed up, that we should just try to go forward. She advised that I try to take a half-step forward him and see what happens... and if it gets messed up again, she'll take another crack at it.
I'm "seeing" him via Zoom in a few hours.
I dunno about this.

Pretend it isn't happening and just move on seems like terrible advice. He ignored your boundaries (again!) and she's enabling it by telling you to overlook his inappropriate behavior and keep working with him. I don't understand what would make him panic, and regardless, a therapist who can get panicky about their client and then throw good judgment out the window is kind of scary.
