Morning (((((((((((Kimmy))))))))))) hoe you're having a good morning. Im dong better, calmer and so on...

Yea Client/ therapist relationships are important. Though my present therapist isnt one of those listed in my previous posting here, she is a great person. If she wasn't the type of person she is I probably wouldn't have chosen to remain in therapy once I was no longer considered court mandated into therapy. I am always happy to see her and don't dread attending sessions with her. She's very open to trying new things. she hates and is very embarrassed when making mistakes where her clients are concerned but she owns up to those mistakes and always takes steps to work on herself so that she is the best for her clients and does the best by her clents. Though I don't depend on her, I try things for myself first there isn't very much that she doesn't know about in the way of what has been going on since recieving her for a therapist. I even share with her that I am on NAMI, here at psychcentral and another website. when I do pick and choose what to tell her (or not) when its always based on my personal decision not to depend solely on the therapist not based on her or her reactions and so on. Im not afraid of what she thinks and wants me to do and so on. I kind of actually look forwards to our sessions now that there isn't the stress of HAVING to go because someone else says I have to, She's kind of like me - she looks for the positive not just the down side. she really does care about her clients. for example something I had told her or showed her, I forget exactly now it was awhile back and other situations like this has happened so its basically mishmashed together, but anyway something about me had her thoughts hooked and she ended up thinking about me all morning before my session with her. She knows how to separate her time vs client time but what that was about me that she was experiencing she chose to stay in the moment of it because she was enjoying being able to connect with me at that level of totally understanding the situation and what I had done about it.. She always worrys about the clients that miss the depression class she runs. not a session went by that she didn't take extra time with the person that didn't make it the week before or noticing and asking about those that didn't make it in that day. She is a very caring person.
