Well my first experience with my t was over the phone. I called and talked to her. Asked her her office hours etc.... Then I asked her, "Do you care for your patients?" She laughed a little and said, "I'd like to think I do." From then on out I knew she was the right one for me. She was straight forward and had a sense of humor.

When I met her I remember thinking, "There's nothing magical about her." I'd never been to a t before so I didn't know what to expect. So my first session I just spilled the beans. I was really a mess when I went to her. I dissociated really bad that first day and for several months thats how it went. But I'd clicked with her over the phone and knew then she wasn't going to allow me to manipulate her or play mind games with her. She is a straight shooter.

.....I think my t shows her "love" a different way than most the ones I've read here.....she's not as oooie goooie, but I'm not either so maybe she's just mimicing my behavior to put me at ease.

Who knows?

Sorry for rambling.
