I'll bite.

My T is really the very first person who's taken me 100% seriously by not diminishing my experiences, nor accusing me of being manipulative, nor telling me what I feel, nor speaking on my behalf. Everything I bring to the table, incredibly deep or totally shallow, is fair game. I've learned more about myself and my engrained patterns/behaviors over the past few years working with my T than I did in my entire life prior to that. And because of the relationship with my T, who actually respects me, I'm cultivating relationships with others who actually respect me, and it's so outrageously rewarding. In summary, my T is great at what she does and I am very thankful to have stumbled across her after all these years. Better a late start than never!
