Thanks Sunrise for the bump and interesting questions...

1. My T never takes notes or write or anything during the session. She does, however make notes afterward (legally shes required to) about each session. She's read them to me and offers me to see them anytime I wish. It's kinda interesting as they do it for coverage of their butts as well. So it's not very personal deatiled stuff in there about what I said because she says she doesn't necesarily think its wise for her (or necessary) to put that in, but stuff we discuss (the time SHE brought in counter transference for example) in regard to our realtionship etc. Interesting that that was what she read to me as well as she had to make it clear to me her reaction to something I said was in no way related to me, it was her bringing in her own stuff, which she apologized for and took ownership of. She also has only done that once that I know of.

2. We don't talk in depthly about our dreams. I mean, I mention if I have them but we don't analyze them and i don't mind that we don't because I belive the interpretation of them to be personal and in that way, I feel I understand them. She had one with me in it once and told me about it, but it wasn't exciting or sexual or anything, we just kinda chuckled in that i was "there" in the dream.

Sadtherapist, I am soooooo glad you are here, welcome by the way, and glad you said what you siad about hugging patients. I want mine to hug me, but yea, I don't as well...

I wish maybe she'd sit closer and touch/reach out to me if SHE felt compelled to. It's all the thinking of if she should or shouldn't that freaks me out (the legal %#@&#!, which I totally understand from the therapist's standpoint). If she feels it, I just wish she would. It would mean more that way anyway. I wonder if she does with others, or ever has...she's so casual in her nature. I do find myself wondering what she is like with her other patients and have even asked her if she approaches me and my issues the same. I want to know where others sit and weird stuff like that.

I like the questions brought up in another thread about seeing the other clients. I never see her other clients, maybe on occasion I've seen some families and teens....boys mostly. I know she doesn't have many in her private practice and I'm ok wit that. I like to think she's all mine or that somehow she likes me best out of all of them....
