It just now, this minute, hit me--he said be prudent. not be safe.

It feels like he said--be smart or I'll abandon you.
I'm not someone who SI's, but I followed this from the psychotherapy thread as it really struck a cord with us over there.

I think your T is authoritarian, and based on the email you posted and everything in the past, I don't like your T. I think you need to tell your "OCD T" this stuff.

He sounds more like he wants to be in control of you rather than help you.
Very sad to hear this. I'm sorry.

Tell the T you see for OCD, and get another therapist if possible.
