Okie, she doesn't just listen to you because it is her job, it's part of who she is; she's a good, active listener. Think about the things you have learned, whether in school or from life, the skills and aptitudes you have and use? I'm creative and think of lots of ideas and I'm a good Web researcher and find interesting links but I don't do it because I "can" but because I want to help individuals with their problems. When your T listens to you she's not listening to the other people, you are "special" then. But you aren't the only person in your T's life and never were. Think of your friends or coworkers you like and family members/cousins, etc. T's have them too just like we have T's, they have clients. But they're our coworkers more than our "friends".
