Almost always yes and yes. I feel very heard and very seen by her. And held emotionally. Yes there are times where she has completely NOT heard/seen/"held" me, but they have been few honestly. She is very good at listening deeply and hearing things I'm not saying.

To me, what being held means, is the feeling of being absolutely accepted, all of me. Therapy with current t was the first place I have ever felt that enough to... well, to start actually being all of me. Or something along those lines.
