My t shares his experiences and what worked for him and others. He stops me in my tracks if I am too self critical. He has shown that he cares through words and actions. I am doing hypnotherapy with him which means I can listen to his softened voice in a dimly lit room lying on his couch. When I was having my worst days I've gotten hugs and once he made me a cup of tea. He is sort of emotive so his empathy just kind of spills out. Others may think that is s little too "Ick" but I eat it up.
