I've seen my T interacting with her colleagues and she seemed very friendly and laid back. Lately I've noticed that she sometimes goes out for a smoke break on her own or with another therapist. Very strange to know she is a smoker, because I've always imagined her as this "perfect" human being. I guess that's also part of her "real life" personality.

I also feel like I see glimpses of "real T" in session. She appears authentic to me and I like that she sometimes self-discloses (very carefully and strategically).
