I often compare my therapist unfavorably to Daisy's or Pfinstegg's. Or go into therapy with the expectation that he will respond like they have, and then I'm disappointed. He knows I wish he were more like Daisy's. :)
Sometimes I feel a bit defensive about my unusual beliefs about therapy. That it's not bad if it's forever therapy. That you don't have to get "all better" and move on. That ongoing support is worthwhile. And that somehow change and (dare I say it) growth continue to occur.
But mainly I think Babble's helped me say things and ask things and think in ways that I'd have never managed to consider or have the courage to say. My therapist expressed surprise the other day that I've only been at Babble since 2001. I told him that's because therapy didn't really start till then. I think he was a bit annoyed.
