several things... her willingness to give tons of hugs, how we do all this "out of the box" stuff, her huge heart, her openness,& ability to do all day long sessions and that she considers a three hour session "short."
Thanks for this!

I appreciate her consistency and flexibility. She is consistently helpful, welcoming, committed. Not 100% but pretty darn close, like 99%. She also is willing to adapt to my situation, she has experience with many different modalities and will work with me until we find tools and approaches that work. Really excellent. She's also really self-aware, socially conscious, creative, and interesting, so, I enjoy our interactions as much as you can enjoy this type of thing.
Thanks for this!

She is so open and honest. She has told me things about her childhood which is beneficial for me. I always felt like a "freak" not with her but in general. Knowing where she comes from and that she does understand coming from a dysfunctional family has really helped me.

She is available when I really need her and we work well together as a team.
Thanks for this!

That he does not have a stick up his a s s and admits that when his own issues get in the way and he made a mistake.

she is honest, and direct, no beating around the bush, and challenges me, just the way I like it, and plus she is also an art therapist as well as a clinical psychologist.

He's really humble and calm. He's really good at setting personal boundaries because he's the exact same person every week. No drama, no games, nothing in his personal life seems to affect our time together and I love that stability.

She always has my best interests at heart, and I know that even when she's pushing me so much that I feel distressed, she only does it because she knows I can handle it even though I don't know I can.
Thanks for this!

A lot of things. I think the most important thing is how soulful and warm he is and that he really cares and offers a lot of his caring, time, energy, knowledge, and experience - much more than he has to as a therapist.

He is a kind person. He puts up with me. I'm not very good at reaching out and calling him when I am really struggling but he has always encouraged me to call him. He tries to understand me.

How she will respond to my emails when I am in a panic and try to squeeze me in to her busy schedule (inbetween my regular appointments) - if she can't, she has offered (or has) called me to chat for 5 minutes to calm me down.

physically: her eyes and her smile

I like her ability to make me feel calm and relaxed in the session, and her down- to-Earth quality and acceptance of me no matter what I tell her.

Wow. I obviously can't swear on my life that it's never happened before, but this is the first time I have ever seen you refer to your therapist using a pronoun. Startling... almost intimate
