It's not just words, it's a "package". Practice putting your heart into your tone of voice, your emoting, that will grab her attention whether she wants it grabbed or not :-)

The good T's follow the feeling while we're talking, if one "cares" about something and it shows in their expressing of what one is saying, they follow up on that. I imagine it's especially hard to do when one is depressed.

I complained to my T one day because she didn't seem to read my body language and she explained to me that body language was very hard to read and so she didn't try to, she concentrated instead on the words, that that was pretty much all we had to use to communicate with one another.

We're deeper, more complex than just the words on their own; gotta put some of that complexity into the words, Echoes. Watch her nose twitch when she hears it :-)
