Thanks Stella,
He give me something I have never experienced in my life before, unconditional positive regard. It is hard to know what that is until one experiences it. It keeps me strong out of therapy sessions. I don't think about "our relationship" as much, because therapy is about me. Finally someone allows ME to be taken care of and no outside motives.
The honesty he has shown me even when it was so hard for him to do so, but I demanded to know, I guess to trust him fully. But yet it has allowed me to be honest with my feelings even when it is hard to do so.
I don't worry about how I am dressed or how ugly I look when I am weeping, I know he doesn't judge me. I don't even wear makeup, he sees me without all my masks literally and figuratively. But I don't have him on a pedistal either. I guess I found the right T for me.
I wish you luck, I know how hard it is what you are going through.
