This feels possible... Reenactments are very common in T. Could be useful to bring up although you said he isn't into exploring this so may be futile.

If he worked in a different way, I imagine this would be a great thing to share with him and explore. But he doesn't. Though, if he worked in a different way, this stuff likely wouldn't be coming up, because he'd just be giving me unconditional positive regard and stuff....
My T does show unconditional positive regard and is open to me talking about anything for as long as I want but still old wounds and attachment injuries and ruptures still happen. It would mean however he might come across as less judgemental and thus shaming.
