I had a momentous experience in session today. I discussed with my T my self image that is not positive and I've been feeling terrible about myself.

I don't know exactly how she did it but T reflected a view of me that was opposite of my own view. She did it so naturally and so genuinely with no force nor insistence that I almost was able to see myself in a different light.

My T is a genius in that she is so authentic and so caring that I'm continually touched by my encounters with her.

Now, I'm not saying that I've been able to change how I view myself but T gave me a peek into what might be possible. Maybe I'll someday not be afflicted with so much self loathing and self criticism. I do believe that T honestly thinks differently about me than I think about myself and her modeling that viewpoint is healing. I feel it.
