I know I couldn't be a T. I am a psychologist, but as I tell people, "not THAT kind." There's a lot of art to being a T. Decisions have to be made on the spur of the moment, depending on the patient. Should I say something or keep quiet? What should I say? What should I ignore? What is the patient's real problem? What does this patient need from me? Every patient is somewhat different, even given the same diagnosis.

I fairly recently told a T I was meeting with for the first time that I was a psychologist. I am pretty sure I explained what kind. But she got into her head that I was a T. I frankly find that very flattering!
