you DO have a great T. Mine is great, but there is no way he would have called me on a holiday. Also, good for you for calling him. I'm glad he helped to reassure you.
Personally, I think you absolutely did the right thing in telling him about your mom's accusations.
I must admit, I think I would be a little freaked out if my T started recording our sessions as well. However, as an outsider looking into your situation, I can see the merit of his decision.
It protects him, but I also think it helps you as well by protecting your therapy from your mom.
As a seasoned veteran of the crazy mom wars, the more layers of protection, the more documentation, the more you put between therapy and her, the better.
Besides, I've often thought after a really good session, that it would be nice to have a recording of it to carry with me - just so I could have what my T said with me whenever I wanted it. Maybe you could bring that up with your T?
I'm glad you feel some better.
Seldom.
