My T talks about her kids pretty much every session, to varying degrees. They are really important to her, and I love hearing about them.

She has compared me to her daughter quite a few times, just commenting on ways that we are similar. I like that she does, mostly because it makes me feel like she might understand me a bit more if her daughter and I are alike in personality or temperament. It also makes me really happy to think that if her daughter is like me, she is really lucky to have a mom like my T who will be able to be there for her in ways that I never had.
