Well, what fun!

I have 'senior moments' sometimes... I can lose my train of thought. I'm all over the place trying to make a point or I forget to give background so I go back, then try to go forward again.. grrr. It always embarrasses me when I lose my thought and I say so. It really frustrates me too and that might be evident.

Anyway, that happened last session. Then later in the session she did it! She suddenly stopped and looked off and said.... I was going to say something more about your sister..... I laughed and said "It isnt' just me?!?" and she very spontaneously (and in her soft and gentle way) laughed too and said "Oh, my no!" .... Real or therapeutic? I don't know, but it was a good experience either way.

She eventually recovered and went on and it just changed the dynamics for the moment at least.

I like that she was real, didn't try to cover it up or dismiss it

The other thing I like that she does is, especially during the silences, she just has a welcoming look, aura, about her. She's smiling pleasantly and has a welcoming and softly expectant look in her eyes and sometimes will gently nod her head encouragingly. It is very sweet and comforting.

Thanks pinksoil, for a nice thread!
