I don't have any trouble seeing my T as human...she's about as human as they come... but it probably helps that I am married to a T, so I get an up-front personal view of what a T is like "behind the scenes." My T also is very human... I've seen her get mad, get sad, cry, laugh, be a real weird, act goofy, she's pissed me off, I've pissed her off, we've gone out to eat, we've gone for walks, I've heard her argue with her husband, I've heard her yell at her dogs (and her husband!), I know a bunch of very "human" things about her. So I think that helps. AND she happens to have a bunch of abilities and skills that are far above the norm that sometimes freak me out a bit.

For what its worth, I don't think your T cured your depression all by herself... you probably did a great deal of work and thinking to do that on your OWN.
