I'm Glad it went well for you. Do you still think she smokes? I only wonder because I find myself making all kinds of assumption about my T, only to realize how much of that was my own projections. Some of it I'm correct about but often, I'm just seeing my own desire to have her be like me.
Therapists are specialized in making us feel okay with ourselves and that involves active listening. Sometimes my T is so interested, it seems she's of the same ilk, but really she's just validating my own interest.
Also, I know a couple of therapists in 'real life' as friends and they're very good at empathizing to a point they make you believe they really share the same opinions or interests but may have never had that experience themselves.

Thanks for your comments. You really opened my eyes about my T and her empathy. She always makes me feel like she agrees with me and understands and now I'm realizing that she has just mastered the look and feel of empathy and that she may feel the complete opposite about many things.
Unfortunately, I will never know how she feels about anything because she wants to be a blank slate and NEVER shares any personal anecdote about anything. I may post a new topic just on this point.
And to answer your question, I definitely don't think that she smokes pot now. I think that she may have tried it at some point, but I just don't think that she smokes on a regular basis now or ever did!
Thanks again.
