> It must have been very validating to hear him talk about how Ts can have those "click" experiences with their clients. Not to mention his understanding of how that probably unsettled your ex-T and led to the problems that you experienced with him.
Yes, it was so wonderful to even be able to freely talk about it. My old T was reisistant to it, and my new T told me probably why. I was able to tell him how I feel about my old T and why he is still special to me.
One funny things though, he said my therapy with my old T sounded like fun. I said yeah, it was. Then he said, well therapy isn't suppose to be THAT MUCH fun. ;-) lol
It sounds like your new T really does get it, and believes you, and is willing to be self-reflective about his own reactions to that.
Yes! I really like that about him. We can talk about feelings and it is okay. I feel like my feelings are okay.
I think I know why my old T didn't like to see me getting upset and he always would change the subject or make me laugh instead, instead of feeling what I was feeling. I think he had a hard time seeing me so sad.

Well Peggy, I am glad someone is reading my posts! It does help me to write it all out and get responses and all. I have learned a lot from Babble along the way. Thanks for your support!
