I know both my Ts have been very genuine and caring toward their clients. The art both kind, caring, and compassionate. I could not ever imagine working with somebody who isnt. That is one of the main reasons I have only seen Ts who somebody I trust knew and recommended.
When I attended Ts funeral service (clients were also invited to attend if they wanted to) the family and especially her live in partner talked about her passion for her job and her clients. Some clients got up and spoke about the care they received (I chose not to get up). Her partner had seen me at her house a couple of times (a dual relationalship) and only knew me as a "friend". Only after her passing hr found out I was actually a client. He talked about how highly she talked about me and how much she cared. Again he knew this because he saw me at her house a couple of times and once in public when we ran into each other.
Current T, has told me things like she never received a flu shot until a few years ago. The company she worked for requires either a short or her to wear a mask all through flu season. Seeing that a lot of her clients at the time were immigrants from countries where "masked" people abused them and killed large parts of their family, she figured her wearing a mask might trigger those horrible memories. She wanted her clients to feel comfortable and safe with her. So she decided getting a yearly flu shot was the least she could do to help.....maybe that is why she wants to wait until masks are not longer needed right now.
