I was using "process" in a generic way. I love going to therapy, knowing my T is going to listen to me, interact with me, try to help me, and smile at me! I love being there in the room with her. I love the connection with her and knowing she really sees me and cares about me. I love the way we can explore my childhood and my present, and the way we can be IN the present by doing mindfulness exercises like breathing and visualizations. I love that I can tell her anything, that nothing is TMI. I love the whole idea of therapy! I love it TOO much, I know. I think I've learned more in therapy than in college--especially how to interact with someone in an honest, open manner, and how to enjoy the pleasures in life like my T does. The whole experience is what I call the process.
