Pdoc gave the exact right reaction to something I shared today. Sounds really silly, but I said/shared something and he took a sharp intake of breath (probably because he was shocked), then said/asked something, and that was exactly what I needed.
It - that breath - sort of said: "I didn't expect that. How awful that happened. I believe you." even before he spoke.
It was a good session all the way - I don't generally talk about 'connecting' because I don't see therapy as an 'the relationship is what heals' kind of thing, but I didn't feel all that 'connected' the last two sessions or so (felt he wasn't as interested in me as he always was. Not sure if that was a change of his behaviour or of my preception), and this session sort of reaffirmed that.
