When I wasn't sure how to answer, she offered up 90% of the time as an educated guess. I remember thinking, wowza- no way! I was leaning towards something more like 60-75%, which I know isn't great, but definitely not 90%. I started thinking about how I must seem to her in session and how she doesn't get the full picture.
So, basically I think she'd probably learn a lot about me beyond my crazy moments and emotional chaos.

I had something similar to this when t asked me to rate my anxiety and depression. She ranked it more severely than I did and I think for the same reasons you listed above.
I don't think I'd want to know my t was observing me until after the fact. I know I would adjust my behaviors if I knew t was around. Also, I never have a typical day at work. It's just the nature of my job and crazy schedule. T would have to come for at least a week to get the full picture of what I do.
I guess I would appreciate the feedback from T. I do share quite a bit with her, but sharing it from my perspective and having t see it for herself are two very different ball games.
