I think I bring honesty and vulnerability and willingness and she has told me those qualities are quite powerful to her in our sessions. I also think I bring my *sparkling* personality and sense of humor and she seems to genuinely enjoy being with me for that hour.

I do wonder what T's get from these relationships... I think they get a lot... And maybe a lot more than we think or might be fathomable for us as the client/patient. I imagine this to be true because I imagine that there is no way my T can fully and completely understand what I get from the relationship with her, not really. I suspect that it may be true the opposite way- that the relationship they have with their clients touch our T's as much as the relationship touches us.
