My t says that or actually she'll say it's been an honor, but usually it's after I've thanked her for putting up with me or something along those lines. I think it's supposed to mean, she's honored that I've trusted her with the deepest darkest parts of me. That's my take on it, anyway. I didn't really understand it myself until I did the shamanic practitioner training and at our last session of the training, we offered our services in a walk-in clinic setting. The people I drummed for that day, who shared things with me, I got it then. I did feel honored that they trusted me, that they allowed me to hold the space for them for a short time. I can't imagine how much more strongly a t might feel that, doing it on an ongoing basis for the same person. Just my thoughts.
Thanks for this!
