Your T. sounds awesome. I'm happy for you. I think you're really doing important work in there that you just couldn't do with your painful, messed up situation last time around. It must feel so good to have some safe boundries and a T. focusing on your stuff only! (hope that didn't come out too harsh toward ex-T..)
On the normal or weird thing...maybe if getting some type of answer still keeps bugging you from time to time, you could try what my T. and I do.
I'll talk in terms of a scale of 1-10, or a continuum, and then he's more willing to say (but only after I say *first* where I think my thoughts/feelings/behavior falls..) "yeah, you might be on the high (or low) end of that compared to most people..." Or something like that.
That seems to work when I keep pressing him to know if he's heard something a lot (or never, or a little) before, or "do regular people do this?" Those are tough questions from the T's POV, I guess. The power it could have if they answered one way or another, and what all that would mean to us.
You sound pretty great....keep going, girl!
