Actually, the research I've read shows that the successful therapist have these qualities before they enter the profession.
I think we would have been friends if we had met in a different venue. I am blessed that she was not another blank-slate therapist for me. Her revealing herself in her journey to heal has helped me tremendously. I'm happy to have the opportunity to find out what she's like out of therapy. I'm not a believer in fast best friends forever friendships.
