It just felt right. I felt immediately comfortable with her. It could be a lot of reasons--she's intelligent, pays attention, listens well, keeps up with how I communicate, and so on--but a lot of it is that she's a kind person, in a quiet kind of way, and doesn't call attention to herself. It hasn't been a smooth process the whole time, and sometimes I think it's over, but she sticks with me through it all. I guess she just has all the things that are important to me in a therapist, and I could sense that right away.
