I feel a lot of gratitude for my T in that she receives my upsets very calmly. I believe she understands that my emotion is showing us another avenue for exploration. And, it is.

And I believe she loves it when she's able to witness an emotion of mine in real time instead of me just reporting to her emotions I've felt.

She views my anger or any other emotion directed at her as an opportunity to delve deeper. I so appreciate her wisdom and guidance.

I feel safe with her and if I had a T that became defensive I would lose the feeling of security that I have with her and I would probably not see that type of T anymore.
