The t I just wrapped up with is HOT. Combine good looks and a nice physique with humor and a caring, compassionate personality and just OH MY.
I think I expressed that I can relate.
Seriously speaking (even though I was being very serious in the lightheartedness), I think those "appreciations" are something that ebbs and flows as therapy continues (or it did in my case). I think it's very normal and many t's will discuss it thoroughly with the client if the subject is broached.
