L is 100% honest, but not bluntly. Neither am I. I don't understand why people take honesty as meaning harsh. It can be gentle.

LT, why are you holding onto Dr. T? There are a lot of misattunments. And when people point them out, you seem quick to defend him by pointing out your weaknesses. Dr. T. has weaknesses too and they're conflicting with your therapeutic needs.

L told me that she met her current T years ago. The T said something first session that pissed L off and she walked out. She found a different T for awhile and then decided that she was ready for what the first T had to offer. Maybe this just isn't the right time in your process for Dr. T?
