What does your therapist say...

Sometimes just the way my T looks at me is enough. Her warm eyes.

" I will not hurt you, you are safe here and i will hold your secrets for you and take them to my grave."

It remains to be seen or heard.

The main thing he's said that has made me feel better is that he'll stick with me as I heal. He's in for as long as I need him to be in.

not much in words... its just him, usually.

All T has to say is my name and I melt. T has also said "I'm not going anywhere" after a particularly challenging conversation, and that's always comforting to hear.

I spent time with my T on Friday talking about whether to quit job. After emailing that I had decided to, my phone rang. I didn't get to it in time to answer but saw his name on Caller ID. Before I could return the call, my iPhone chimed with an incoming email from him: "please call me on my cell** ###.###.#### if you need to talk over the weekend"

Yeah, my T says things that make me feel like this is a working therapy. It's a good thing.

I love you.

In response to a shaky, scared, disturbed, "is it okay that I'm telling you this?" a compassionate and quiet "Yes. Yes it is."

"I will never involuntarily commit you for cutting."

These responses are heartwarming to read.

I love it when my T says "I love you".

I woke up today to an early email from my T: "are you ok?
do you need / want to meet later today (3pm - ish?)"

I replied that I did. We had a good session. Quitting a job is hell, quitting one you love in many ways & in this economy? He understands.

Thanks, Sarah Michelle, for this thread. I'm appreciating what I have a bit more-a good thing.

"I love you."
"I'm not going anywhere."
"I only want what is best for you."
"I'm praying for you."

There's a particular look she gives me; her eyes are warm and she gives me a little smile.

Last time i saw T, she seemed really, really happy with me. Like she was proud of me. This positivity just rolled off her. Don't know how to describe it. I love my T. Think the most comforting thing she has done is just hold my hand. I can feel how much she cares.

I am here. I am not going anywhere.

I've seen a lot of posts of "I love you."

O_O Awkward but nice I guess? I dunno, if my therapist said that I would say, "Yeah... sure... love... you ... too, man...?" with a kinda awkward gangster tone.

He doesn't saying anything but he kinda does this funny face and try to position himself so I'm in his eye sight when I go on my zone outs trying to keep my emotions in. That's nice.
