I know that she is good at her job, I know that she comes into the room and gives me her attention and warmth for that hour I'm with her. I know that she is easy to talk to and when I'm feeling low she is the person I choose to turn to for support.
I don't know what her favourite band is, what she likes to eat, or what she does in her free time! But do I need to know that to feel close to her?
For me I think as long as she keeps that same smile when she greets me and makes me feel heard and understood on a weekly basis that's all I really need to know, so no I don't know her outside the session, but I do know her really quite well when it comes to working together.
