My therapist is her real self. We have had this conversation recently. She and i spend entire days together, for the past 9 years. She said there is no way she could hide her real self for the entire day. She gets angry, sad, upset,excited, etc. We talked the other day about how she and I are both going to be at an event next week and she said I will probably think she sounds weird because she is going to have to have her “therapist hat” on, so she wont be as casual as she is around me.
