Dinah -
You do not sound too hopeful. You do sound very sad.
I know that no one should say bad things about our therapist, in that regard, it's like family (when we were kids). I can tease my brother, but my friends shouldn't. I do think your T is wonderful. But he wasn't trained for long term theraputic relationships. So I think he did a fantasic job in developing the trust, attachment, etc ... but now, I sense (and I may be wrong) he doesn't know how to use that attachment and move forward for change.
I'm not saying you should stop seeing him. Never. I know how important he is to you; and I know how important my T is to me right now. They are a life-line. Rather, something to consider.
My attachment to my T is very strong these days. And I'm sharing those feelings. And I can hear where she is going with them, untangling them, working with them.
I am glad that you will have a double session tomorrow. You'll need time to reconnect and feel safe again.
I truly hope I didn't offend you or your relationship. It's not my intention. Just a thought that occured to me.
Annie
