As a therapist, I have days that I'm often amazed at some of the "gifts" I get from my clients. Not materials, moments. The things that make me say "Wow, that's something I'll remember".

On these boards, we do a lot of talking about what our therapist's give us (or don't give us). What they bring to the table, or if they're so off they forget to even "set the table"! We talk of how they influence, or impact us.

But I wonder how much awareness there is on what things YOU give to your therapist meeting with them weekly. How do you help your therapist learn and grow in the therapeutic alliance?
