Appearance-wise, pretty well. Whenever I am talking, I do tend to stare at the floor a lot, but when she is talking a lot of times I look at her very closely. It is like I am trying to etch her face in my memory so that I have it stored in my brain for between sessions. Her face is actually very comforting to me, so whenever we are not talking about something hard or embarrassing I always look at her. One time I gave her an email to read, and as she was reading it, I had to try very hard not to stare at her face the whole time she was reading. I can even tell when she gets her hair cut.
As for her life, she is pretty much a blank slate, but since I am kind of a stalker (and not just with T, but I am pretty good at finding things out about other people), I have gained a lot of info off the Internet, which I know is not ideal but actually helps me relate to her a lot more. For example, I found out that she is not married and has no kids, which makes it easier for me to trust her and attach to her b/c I don't feel like she has other, more important, priorities. Silly maybe, but it works for me. As for her self-disclosing to me, I think pretty much the only thing she has told me about herself is that she wears earplugs. Random, I know, but she was trying to advise me on what brand to get b/c I have trouble sleeping.
