Twinleaf, I think it sounds like your and T are making great progress. To me and I have not been in therapy long but the humor would be a great help. I get so serious and that is when I take things wrong so the humor would help me know where he/she stood as a T. I think you are right about the age thing. Someone new might not know so well how to difuse a sticky situation or one so charged with emotions. Your T sounds like a great one. IMHO I think the rough spots are necessary to help progression. Kind of like when you clean a closet out you make a mess before it looks better and we all have messes in our closets and it will probably look worse before it looks better. So in our relationships with our T I guess we will have some rough patches as they get to understand us and our needs and how deep our issues go and the best way to help us get better. And as hard as the absences go for us I guess they need the break because we are not their only therapees. They need to unwind and decompress it my guess. And I suppose the absences are suppose to be helpful to us although they are hard.
Anyway, I am glad you sound so much better and doing pretty good. way to go. rk
