Wow, Echos. It sounds like you have a very close and deep relationship with your T. I do agree with you that maybe his feelings are too “strong” right now, that he got more affected than if it was from purely a therapeutic stand point.
It sounds hopeful though; like this is something that can be worked through. I am sorry it has been so difficult to wade through. You really seem to have a grasp on what will help you. I admire that, as I never know!
