Good topic.
There are probably more, but here's what I can come up with right now:
I like my T's laugh, too.....it's, well, it's indescribable really, but infectious.
I like my T's voice....it's soothing and motherly (in that it isn't high pitched or too low, and it has an innate nurturing tone to it).
I like that my T knows how to care for herself as well as she does other people; her home is very private to her, and she knows when she needs to be alone or meditate.
I like that my T shares my connection with animals and nature.
I like that my T doesn't put on a persona...she is just as nice and sincere and interesting and honest in session as she is outside.
I like that my T is human.....she doesn't try to be anything other than who she is, even if that means she self-discloses in session, or admits being hurt by or frustrated with me, or tells me something I tell her makes her sad, or takes a moment to silently reflect on her sick mother, for example.
I like that my T is patient (sometimes I think she acts it more than she feels it, but I hope I'm wrong)....especially working with me, she'd have to be. I put her through a lot, the poor woman.
I like that my T talks when I can't.
I love and admire that my T has had the courage and conviction to accept and work with her disability instead of giving up, even though it must be extroadinarily hard as its something she lives with every day (she was in an accident when she was a teenager which left her unable to walk and in a wheelchair). I get teary whenever I think about it. :(
The greatest thing about my T, though, is that she's there and that I was lucky enough to meet her. <3 (ok that was corny...*lol*).
