Ok. I am glad you didn't take offense.
And my perspective is only from what you write here. So it is quite possible that it is skewed. Maybe as you said, you could share more of the good stuff that happens in your sessions, for people to get an objective view of the situation (ie, if you want). I don't know what others here think about your T. But nevertheless, even if they share my opinion, as you said, there are apparently things (good things) that we don't know that your therapist is doing for you, so it may not be right. Anyway, you can ask for people's honest opinion on your T if you feel like with the posts that you have made so far.
I am sorry if I had underestimated your work. It just seemed like you were doing so many things on the strength of your attraction and positive feelings for your T, and whenever you felt that he didn't care, you lost interest and became very down. So I inferred that your good moods were derived from his attention to you. But that is also only a second hand inference from your posts, and I was wrong. And there could be some projection on my part - like when I was with my first T, my mood would match so much with his responses to me, but with my second T, my progression and mood was constant and independant of how she felt about me. So I could have projected it perhaps on to you.
