Yes, I do believe this. Even in the short 20 months I've been seeing my T, I feel there have been changes because of the relationship I have with her. The biggest one being that everything I bring to her (so far) has been able to remain about me. I'm excited, she's excited to know what about it excited me. I'm sad, she's supportive about what my experience is. I'm mad (even at her), she's curious as to what that feels for me and how it came about.

I feel this type of relationship does change how I respond to things because it helps me to be able to work through stuff without my amygdala being so activated I can't think or process stuff. I believe the lasting outcome is that my amygdala will not be activated as quickly or easily to stimuli.
