A nurturing, generous offer from my perspective, but I do believe it all depends on how the recipient feels about it within context.

I think it was cute in a way, I just never expected that, kind of weird, I guess most therapists, want to build thier own without having the past t in a room, I just feel funny about it, there are times when I almost called her by my old t name, and I caught myself, that would have been so embarassing lol. I will give it a try this week. I wont try the high five stuff yet, but I will try to be more of myself around her I suppose.
