Hi Aphrodite,
Sorry I've taken so long to reply, some days I get really antsy.
In my Inner Child Workbooks, they always talk about a protector for your Inner Child. I've got to say that I am really proud of your protector. I can see how betrayed you must be feeling, but your protector has stood up and spoken instead of running away or hiding or just taking it lying down or whatever. Kudos to you.
Your T sounds really special. It was terrible the way he hurt you, but he is obviously very invested in trying to fix things up. If you're still having trouble trying to rebuild your trust in him, maybe ask him to talk about if he's had many other instances where something he has done has broken the trust with one of his clients. If this is an isolated case, you may be able to excuse him because T's are only human (*gasp* shock horror!!), but if he's b*ggered up a number of times before, ... well I don't really know what to do then.
I must say there was something you wrote that disturbed me a little. It was the bit about how his voice broke and he sounded really upset. In a way it sounds like a good thing because it indicates he really cares about you and wants the best for you. But in a way it sounds like maybe he's caring too much or maybe he has an issue about failing or some other issue with himself. But I could be way off base here.
Anyway, just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you.
