I am happy to hear about your supportive husband.
And I am sorry it didn't go well with your T. Clicking well with a T is very important, and if you feel you don't click well, mabye finding someone else is the right answer.
As far as the child part goes, I think we tend to get stuck at an age and tend to block later parts of development when we have to go through some traumatic things. I had been stuck at age 11 (pre puberty) for a long long time now I realized. And I was able to work through it a little bit with a help of a good T and some meditation, and babble support. Now I feel more happy. It is funny how people can funtion as adults in real world, and yet be chidren inside. It happens to lot of us.
I am sure if you go to a good enough T, she/he will be able to guide you through with patience.
From my experience, women Ts are better at this. THey have more patience, and are more emotionally intuitive and are probably willing to listen in more detail. Men tend to dismiss things quickly (unless of course you find a very good male T). It might be worth trying a female T.
Hope it goes well for you.
