To make this a question, who else feels this way?

I've been so down with recent events, but leaving my session today I feel strong and capable of anything. No one else instills this kind of confidence in me.

My therapist is totally amazing, too. She has taken me from being suicidal everyday, cutting and burning myself, and deep, deep dark depression to being very stable and happy. I love every day of my life, now.

She makes me feel like I can accomplish anything. She believes in me and is one of my biggest cheerleaders. Yes, she's pretty amazing.
Thanks for this!

I'm glad your T was able to help you feel better today <3
I've had some really amazing therapists. This one might be getting there, but we will see

I do not think the therapist is amazing. I assume they may not be despicable in their real lives and I hope they are reasonably not incompetent in their professional capacity. But I really have no belief about them past that description.

That is good your T does that for you but I know we are supposed to find people outside of therapy that do that for us or we need to learn to do it for ourselves otherwise we become so dependant on them to feel good.

I am in the same boat.

I think my T is amazing too. However I have never felt strong and capable leaving my session, that is awesome, I hope my therapy takes me somewhere like that, it's early days for me.

Yeah, my t is amazing too. Even when I hate her. Because how could I ever really hate her?! She has helped me learn how to help myself in so many ways. I don't know exactly how I feel about her at the moment cuz yesterday's session was weird but yeah. She's amazing!

I was just thinking this today, driving home from my t session. And really- it is not me putting him a peddle stool .. I can be real, I know he can be jerk to his wife or piss his kids off- heck he has pissed me off a number of times. The thing is, he is a good t. He is compassionate, he is knowledgeable, and he knows how to work with me. I am so very thankful I have my T.

My therapist is completely amazing even (especially!) when I'm a blubbering fool. He is a role model to me. I have no idea how he became so patient and good at reading weird people like me who can't put a coherent thought together in words but I'm so grateful for him.

I've been looking for a place to tout my T's awesomeness

I'm suffering from some extreme physical pain, and I can't really go food shopping. I was crying about how I wanted to do all my normal things and couldn't. Mentioned my empty fridge, which only had creamcheese. She said, "I will do your shopping this afternoon." I yelped no, she couldn't cross that boundary, but thanked her from the bottom of my heart for even mentioning it.

Later that week, I left message on her machine saying pain had won, I was taking leave from work. She called back just was I was walking into my home where I could scream and cry. She listened to my screams of pain and then helped me regain calmness. She's been by my side 100% as I try to find some relief and I love her dearly.

Oh, and let me also say, she's seen me out of an eating disorder and away from an abusive marriage, so my love is deep!
Thanks for this!
