I agree with Dinah--the progress you two have made is impressive and wonderful.
I *think* I've experienced the disconnect you're talking about--intense anger (partly transference-based) but being unable to express it to such a reasonable professional once inside the walls. I wish sometimes that my therapist would just be the complete a****le that I often perceive her to be, just so things would be clear and I could let out all my emotions inside the sessions.
I'm amazed at how hard you have worked with him, despite the struggle. And I can see how unnerving it must be to have him express caring and availability. So often it's much easier for me *not* to hear things like that. Congratulations on your progress.
