Many years ago I idealized my first t. She ended up being horrible, and I learned my lesson.
My new t is great, and wonderful, but I do not idealize her. She can be very frustrating, and she is just a normal person. She has her faults. I just choose to try to see the positives.
I have a lot of people idealize me because of the position I am in. I dont like it at all. The public sees what they want to see. They dont seem to understand I am just a regular person also. I act stupid sometimes. I do things wrong. I make mistakes. I can be a real dummmy at times. I do not like it when people put me on a pedastal. Its too much pressure to look up to.
That is why I do not do that to my therapist. She does not have to try to be perfect for me.
