I like it too when I can genuinely make my therapist laugh out loud.
I like it when they hold my hand, pat my shoulder or hug me.
I like it when they lend me books
I like it when they lean in or sit next to me
I like it when they soften their tone of voice
I like it when they humble themselves by self disclosing something personal
I like it when they can tell me something I haven't heard before
I like it when they bring me coffee too
I like it when they do a relaxation excersise along with me so I feel less stupid about it
I don't like neutral facial expressions and body language because I tend to read it as negative
I hate long silences
I don't like running into the previous patient
I don't want to see pictures of or be aware of their kids
I don't like it when they pull rank
I can't stand being scolded
