-is there for the most part when I need her but also have her own life so I don't want her to just be there all the time...
-compassionate, hard working, and knowledgeable
-knows when I need her to push me a little harder and know when to pull back a bit
-understand that I can be stubborn...when I tell my T I know I have been stubborn a couple of times she tells me she doesn't see it as stubborn just self protective until I am ready for change which is not a bad thing (according to her)
-look away if I am starting to cry as she knows I have a REALLY hard time if people see me crying
-reassuring me when I emotionally beating myself up for something that is not my fault or I have no control over.
-Does not use blackmail that if I don't don't do something then X will happen. She tells me what she thinks is best but that she supports me with whatever I decide to do.
-talks to me like a real person who can be irrational at times but will eventually get there.
-understands that she doesn't always know what is in my best interest and will change her mind when I explain to her why (done this a few times).
-is non judgmental..
-ideally she would not ask where my head is right at that moment (does it all the time which I hate but understand why)
