This is intended to be a light-hearted thread where we can post the imaginative characteristics of a perfect T
unlimited availability, mind-reader, makes home visits, free  .....any others?

My perfect T would give me a pill and all of my issues would disappear. I'm even willing to take 3 pills if that would do it.

My t is honest, sometimes brutally honest, but that's what I need and I really appreciate him for that.

My perfect T would be able to read my mind so I don't have to speak the words, she would just know exactly what I'm thinking and how to help. She would also be available to talk with over the phone whenever I need to, have longer than 50 minute sessions, and would hug and hold me when I'm having a difficult time to comfort me.

a thinking of you call now and then, unlimited hugs and being a mind-reader sounds nice on the fun list
but directness, honesty and transparency and compassion are truly important to me....actually, the T I have is pretty much the one who is right for me (she's not perfect, but certainly good enough!  )

Actually, my T right now is pretty perfect.
Only things I would add are - mind reader, free, call or email to check up on me just because, unlimited time whenever I need it.

My T is already sweet perfection. She's pretty awesome! I practically see her for free AND she usually keeps me for 90 minutes. The only thing I can think of that I'd like to see her do is dance. She told me she loves to dance, so I'd love to see her bust a move on the dance floor. LOL!

The onlt thing that I would add to make her the "Perfect T" would be to be able to see her whenever I wanted and for as long as i wanted.

I already think my T is pretty great and he tells me a lot that he doesn't want to be my "ideal" therapist. He thinks he would be doing me a diservice by always saying or doing what I want...and I do think he's right...but...
Just for fun...the MOST important thing would be physical touch..hug me, hold my hand, or come sit next to me. I'd like to be able to see him whenever I wanted...either a couple times a week or maybe an unlimited session (I could acuatlly stay until I was done with my thoughts for the day). I'd also like him to call me after a hard session or during a tough time. After writing this though, I'm seeing that he's already kinda perfect for me

I really do feel like my T is perfect for me. I guess he would be more perfect if sessions were FREE!

This is going to sound really odd after all my recent T Dramas (!), but I don't think I want a perfect T. It would make it even harder to tolerate the imperfection in all other relationships, make it too difficult to leave T and go into the world and live. It would take away the healing from repair, and the opportunities to learn that repair is possible.
I think, like PoetGirl said, I want a good enough T. And I have one. |

I would want my T to be just like he is, except for his phone skills. They need improving--such as returning client calls. It would also be kind of fun and different if there were more hair.

Since this is just for fun: I would like to have hugs and whenever I want them. I would like a really nice cozy couch to sit on in therapy. I would like the fee to be very low so I could afford it. I would like to be able to be a pocket rider whenever I felt like it. I would like small gifts now and then. I would like to be able to place phone calls whenever I felt like it. That's enough for now.

My T is almost perfect.
 Though if I could have a fantasy, absolutely perfect T, she would never forget anything I told her, she would hold me if I wanted her to, she wouldn't charge me anything, she would let us have therapy in other places like by a lake, she would have given me a birthday present and card on her own, she would let me stay as long as I wanted, and she would tell me all about herself sometimes. But if she did all that, she'd probably not be a T! A pocket rider, Elli-Beth, is a pretend miniature version of ourselves who decides to accompany someone else to their session or anywhere else they want. Usually to their session when it's going to be difficult! We have to be small to fit in someone's pocket!! Basically, it's to give each moral support at our tough sessions! The T doesn't know we're there, but WE do.

Cool! I love that idea! Someday I'll be sure to ask for pocket riders!
