No, I am really not making things up about my therapist, she is quite real and quite remarkable. Without her advocating for me today it would have been a much worse conversation. Yearning told me afterwards: "The way your T looked at you.. she really cares about you so much." I thought that was such a sweet thing to say, because I don't think I notice these things much.
Having a third person witness how someone responds to me or behaves around me, I realize how much I can learn from that.
