Physically - my t is in her early 50's, pretty with a petite frame. Although she probably weighs under 100 pounds (easily) she appears quite physically fit and strong. She has reddish blond hair and a giant warm smile w/perfect white teeth. Her body language is relaxed and calm - doesn't move around her chair or office. And her facial expressions rarely invite surprise or discomfort. Everything is taken at as if it is perfectly normal.

I rarely sit up these days, but I hear a lot of expression in her voice tonality --- whether it's curiosity, happiness, surprise ...

She is comfortable with the silence that surrounds me at times. Other times, I sense she wishes she could help me express in words what I hold back. She is patient.

It means so much to me that she runs on time, 99.5% of the time and is never sick.

Her office is clean and organized but lacks style. Her waiting room could also use a make-over and a fresh stack of magazines. I don't think style is big on her priority list. Her personal style is plain and I imagine (although I have no reason to know this) but I would guess she makes some of her clothes. I'm sometimes surprised by the combination of separates she puts together ... she dresses sometimes folksy and sometimes business casual.

I like it when she can take my side on something and get angry with me. I like it when I tell her that I find something she is doing differently is helpful, and then I see her trying to move in that direction. I love that she wants me to get stronger and happier. I love that she doesn't answer my questions with another question. She always tries to answer. I love that she sometimes takes a pause before answering because I used to tell her "be careful in how you answer" because I held onto every word. I love that I know she is 100% answering honestly even though I may not feel it is true (if that makes sense). I love it when I say something funny and she laughs out loud.

Her attention is in that room with me the entire time. And for that, I am thankful.
