What I would want..
for my T to let me know she cares (and me believe it) what she has done - when I was so wired I couldnt sit still she walked down by the river with me and did therapy as we walked

A hug would be nice - but I don't think she ever would.
What she does - she's going to a conference soon to see if there are other ways to help me She doesn't give me weird looks and she doesn't get mad/angry I can tell she cares. She's awesome

what i'd like:
to be able to do therapy every other week as i just can't do it every week with my health issues (she does let me do phone therapy though). i may ask her again. oh! i hope she doesn't retire anytime soon as i've not been with her long and she is older. what she does: she's just very supportive and i can tell her spiritual stuff that i think is really wacky that most people don't understand and she never even thinks it's wacky. she's very compassionate. she even asks my opinion about things we're talking about. i mentioneded i'd bought an art journaling book and she bought the same book so we could discuss things from the book. i thought that was so cool! |

well... my first automatic response would be a hug as well.. but my present T and I are in the midst of establishing appropriate boundaries (so that they might be extended to other significant relations of mine), and so I think that if my T could do one nice thing for me, it would be just to "hold" me through eye contact, and let me know that she was honestly, and authentically "with" me.

T does so many nice things for me
 Non-judgemental acceptance, support, sharing laughter, listening and hearing, allowing unlimited phone calls, providing her cell for when I need to contact her immediately, her helping me talk about difficult things. I too would like a hug. Last session we talked about it after I had been in a really bad place and left a phone message "I know you wouldn't, but I would ask you for a hug if I were there right now. When we talked about it a bit in session (I was too embarrassed to talk about it much) she said she doesn't have a hard rule against it, that it depends on circumstances/situation. She didn't elaborate and I didn't ask because I figure I would try to manipulate myself into that circumstance/situation just for the hugh  . But it sure was good to hear that a hug is possible.
