Do you feel/think that your T just knew about a part of your story that you hadn't yet told him/her?

Looking back on my time in therapy I feel my exT knew about something from my childhood before I disclosed it but waited it out until I was ready to talk about it.

I'm just curious really as to whether or not you guys have felt the same?

It's been 7 months since I last saw my T as a client and I think I'm really starting to process everything and putting it here is really helping.

I am glad writing it here is helping you to process your relationship with ex t.
Perhaps it's easier when you are teacher and student.
I felt my ex t knew a lot but usually she couldn't wait till I told her. She was blunt and didn't believe in beating around the bush! I wish she had of waited but I now know she couldn't contain herself let alone me.

I dont believe she knew anything I didn't tell her. However there has been a couple of times where when I disclosed something she told me that it made sense. She knew there was something that seemed to be missing but didn't know why. The new information filled on the gap.

I don't know for sure, but I highly suspect my T knows about my SH. I mean,

Possible trigger:

the scars on my arms are pretty prominent

which she has never mentioned, but she point-blank asked me if

Possible trigger:

the fresh cuts on my leg were SH

and I lied and told her no.
But she's a smart lady and I'm sure she probably knows, but is waiting for me to bring it up myself (which idk if I ever will).

After about 3 months with M I began to have memories of childhood traumas.

I shared these with him and was in the phase (still am in various ways) where I wasn't sure whether or not I could believe myself.

Like any good T he said he believed me 100% and that it wasn't my fault, and then he added that he could tell from the moment I walked into the first session, before I even said anything, that I had had these experiences, that they "bore signatures which are all over your body."

It freaked me out but now that I've done some work I'm not at all surprised by how obvious it was to him.

Likewise when I reported my discoveries with M back to L (I'd been seeing her three years at that point) she sort of did a facepalm and said "I've suspected this all along but I'm so sad to hear it, just the same."

No. The woman has not.

Yes he did. He waited for years for me to finally say it
