I have actually on this with my therapist. We switched places. But I would have known anyway.

I wouldn't be as good a therapist for myself as my actual therapist is. I do sometimes have questions and ideas when he gets stuck (partly because I'm myself and I know what I nee, partly because I never shut up so I'm bound to find something to say).

I'm much more rigid about contact like hugs. Somewhat stricter about initiating things with a client (like how my therapist called to check up on me when I was having a hard time). Though I guess if I as a client asked me as a therapist to do these things (initiate) in order to help and I understood the need for it, I would probably do it.

As for saying, pretty much what my therapist is saying, I guess.
