My t uses affectionate language with me. He calls me, "Sweet XXX. or Dear XXX." He is compassionate and patient with he words and the way he treats me. He will come sit by me when I'm upset and he hugs me at the end of every session. He's said he wishes he could have protected me from the bad things that happened when I was little and that he would have protected me. He gets angry at the injustices that have occurred. He is an excellent example of empathy and compassion.
