Sometimes I think it’s so strange that the person who knows all my trauma and deepest feelings actually barely knows anything about me. For example, he doesn’t know what music I like, favorite foods, favorite shows, my sense of humor, etc. Basically all those things that any friend of mine would know right away. Sometimes I wish he knew that part of me also.
It’s random stuff too, like I want him to know about the funny thing my dog did that day, or how I met my husband, or that I tripped up the stairs. Lol.
What do you wish your T knew about you?

I share these things with my T. For a while I did wish that she saw my "work" side. Then one day, I brought in my project and shared it with her. We've talked about stuff (science, math, software) that brings out my strongest selves so she gets to see the non-messed up parts too. It's my hour, we get to spend it however I want. Granted I'm sure that if we didn't do therapeutic stuff around it, she'd probably start to do something about it.
