I don't know.. I feel weird about her saying that. I feel abnormal and like a case study.
I think you knd of have to look at this from the perspective of your therapist. It *must* be fascinating to watch people open up after years of being closed off. Like watching a flower that blooms once every 5 years or a feral cat that finally accepts food and shelter.

I'm sure for some therapist's this process is quite satisfying and full of joy.
