I'm sorry about the upset at work but I'm glad you are able to turn to him for help. He's still there and he's still your T.
I'm assuming that you are (probably) your T's most long-standing patient? Was there are particular moment when a decision/realisation was made that the typical stretch of time-restricted CBT would not be right for you?
He's obviously open to adapting and going 'outside the book' so to speak - so maybe this is just another moment of adaptation on his part - a fork in the road, where both of you have a role in the decision as to how to go on.
Personally I find the combination of CBT and psychodynamic/analytic attractive. Sometimes I wish my T was more directive and practical - I wonder how much further it would take me. In the beginning it wouldn't have worked - it would have scared me away but now maybe he could get away with some CBT (as far as I can tell, he has an aversion to it - I never have to worry about the egg at least).
