It really got me thinking.My T seems like such a kind,gentle,caring koala bear.I feel like I know him as a person but really,I don't know much about him at all other than things I have seen on his Facebook, little clues from the objects in his office,and the few bits of personal info he has shared during sessions.
He could actually be a douche in real life.He could be the type that treats his wife like crap,neglects his kids,could drink often.He could be anyone/anything.
To me,he is what I have created in my mind,he's what I want him to be.But that may not be who he is...at all.I am attached to what and who I think he is,what he represents to me,but not him as a person.That's a wild realization.
So,how well do you know your T?Or do you just think you know him/her?
