Good listener and doesn't over react to what I say. I want to be able to say whatever is bothering me and now that T is not going to say or do something that shows that she is shocked or surprised. I love her focus on a person's strengths and her attempts to normalize the problem. Normalize just means helping a person to see that he/she is not alone in struggling with the problem. Many other people struggle with a similar problem. I have found that I can find other ways to normalize the problem that is better than her though. I find that reading other people's postings, sitting in on a support group or reading a book written by a fellow sufferer does more for me in the area of normalizing a behavior or mental problem.
