You have quite an amazing therapist who isn't afraid to let you know that he too, is connected.

There is a lesson for me there. I am one who tends to keep my emotions under lock and key. Since beginning therapy with my T 11 months ago, I have been learning the value of letting others see my emotions. Look what I got from this experience of T sharing his feelings with me. How could it not be valuable to do that with my friends, family, etc.? He is an emotional role model for me.

Your session is PROOF that a therapist can move closer temporarily, share some human emotion, declare closeness in the relationship, and give a hug at the exact right moment.

All this and look at the result! This has to be the most profound session ever right?

Yes, he did all those things. He is human so he shares human emotion. And he isn't afraid to show he is human. Much of the time, the closeness in our relationship is experienced and hinted at rather than declared overtly. I really needed that clear, spoken declaration in this last session. The hug was the cherry on top. And yes, a very profound session! almedafan, I'm interested in your comment about "PROOF." Are you looking for proof? Are you trying to disprove someone who has told you otherwise?
