I spent a night with my former T and her husband and children, and seeing her have the same "typical" problems any family has only made me cherish her more. I saw that she was able to not only care for her children during the "good" times, but that even when she had to be strict with them, she was still that same kind woman I came to know in various environments.

Spending time with my T outside in the real world made me come to appreciate her even more because it showed me that she truly is a special person, and that she is authentic in the person that presents in therapy, and in her family.
