Sunny! I love this! This is something I think about my husband! Why the heck h=is he still with me when he has seen me at my worst? Angry at him, angry at my kids, tantruming, totally irrationahl and cursing at him. And then, gentle and soft and vulnerable. How can he love someone so....all over theplace? ANd then there is food. Okay, that is my husband, he lives with me, but a therapist is different. A therapist didnt marry you.

It really is a relationship that is theraputic. That you are okay. Being angry at your financial advisor, in couples therapy, in the outside world where you are who you are. And he sees ALL of you. It is sort of obvious that there is nothing to be scared of, he isnt going anywhere and isnt going to start judging you or despising you now!

I dot know if I feel that way with my therapist now. I havent been seeing her as long and she hasnt seen me in too many different situations. She saw me frustrated with my 3yo when I brought her to 2 sessions with me and she didnt cooperate in either on for very long (I am never doing THAT again). I was disappointed and frustrated. I dont know that if she saw me at some of my worst moments she wouldnt see me differently and dislike me. It is probalby different to share with her some of my past behavior and for her to witness it. This might be an interesting thing to bring up in therapy. To be comnpletely accepted for who I am with all of my yucky and embarrassing behavior...and thoughts. I am wondering if I might say or do something that I would regret sharing with her because Id feel like she wouldnt like me or think I am a bad person.

Anyway...I DO love your T...just had to say that......AND he is a male therapist....
