Great thread idea and thanks for letting us know about, You, Go Dog!

I feel supported when I am agreed with or "Thanked" (obviously, one would need therapy if one felt opposition when agreed with?) and, in therapy, when I feel I am being listened to.

I went on and on one session about my terror of gas powered lawn tools (specifically, having to go buy the gas in one of those little red plastic jugs and then add 2 cycle oil and not knowing if you added enough/too much and having 4-5 of those previously filled little red jugs in my shed, not knowing if they were okay to use or if you added more gas, how much more oil did you add, etc.) and how I'd bought a brand new, expensive weed whacker but never used it so had wasted that money and the bushes were over my head and covering my front windows like a haunted mansion even though I'd bought an electric hedge trimmer, discussing this to the end of the session and my non-native therapist, after gently saying, "We have to stop now. . ." asked, "What is a weed whacker?" Visions in my head of not being "understood" but then I realized she had listened to me (I could see it in her posture and face and "attention" to me) and heard my fear and confusion and was "there" with me so I gave her "credit" for that
