I've been thinking about this question. What this T has taught me that other T's haven't is to be more comfortable with my body. At first I was self-conscious when T wanted me to close my eyes and breathe with her in my session. Gradually I got used to doing that.

Then my T told me she hugs her clients. I thought "never" because I didn't like hugging anyone. But we have hugged for 7 years now, after each session. I have carried that over to liking to hug others in my real life too.

I thought it was weird when T first asked if that child part wanted to hold her hand. Doing so was one of the best parts of therapy for a long time!

T started asking "where in your body do you feel that?" I cold hardly tolerate hearing the words "your body." We worked on my being able to say anatomy words in my session.

T was very comfortable talking about sex though I wasn't at first.

I really think T has helped me to become much more comfortable with my body.
