My T validates my feelings. She doesn’t judge. I can tell her stuff I can’t tell anyone else. She’ll sometimes give me this intense look. She has said before that she’s “worried about me” or that she “feels for me.” Maybe she’s like this with all her clients. Or maybe she looks at notes before, But she remembers specific little things. Like what TV shows I watch and the type of soda I drink and other little things like that. She even mentioned the chair I sit in and I found it impressive that she remembered where I sit during sessions.

She was doing this blank slate thing for awhile and not showing much emotion but she opened up a lot and I’d say she’s pretty warm and fuzzy now.
