I hope my T has other clients. Therapy is a Practice.
As a former massage therapist, I developed great massage/client relationships, as when they walked out the door and my notes were done, I did not usually think about them until preparing for the next appointment.
That may sound uncaring but it is not. The next person that walks in the door got my undivided attention and care. I expect no less from other professionals.
Yes, what happen in T, is intimate in the emotional trusting way, very, very difficult for me.
And once I walk out the door I do think about the T as much as what I got out of the session, how I felt, what I learned and to then take notes for myself for contemplation. Sometimes to look up words he uses, and gratitude that he is able to work at my level so the work is meaningful to me.
In the past with other T's I thought of the other clients more, because I felt not to be on the same wave length, and wondered what I was doing wrong, and what the other clients did in their sessions, and what I was missing?
I did gain from the past work, otherwise I would not have made it this far. Long way to go yet....
Thanks for the topic.
