I totally agree with you that we are more alike than different, maybe you're more conceptual and I'm more contextual in our distinct analyses of things. But I do feel a connection with you around how we go about finding the meaningful stuff that we need in therapy. I hope that's okay for me to say. I really appreciate that you took the time and energy to explain how you see things.
I'm not such a typical female either, even though I'm somewhat girly in appearance. I'm not really into clothes and shoes and makeup. And although I remind lots of people of a stereotypical Jewish mother, I am outspoken and tough as nails. Someone once told me that I was a "straight arrow," just like a man. I guess women are supposed to be crooked in some way.
