It helps so much to have warm feelings to carry away instead of anger and the fear that comes with anger.
I'm not sure I managed to convey the tone of the session as well as I managed to convey the particulars. It was sort of lazy and warm. And intense despite it.
I have *always* appreciated his willingness to be honest with me. He might not (and probably should not) tell me the entire truth. But he appears to manage to avoid lying. Well, almost always. He lied to me once, but it was about something personal and I never really held it against him, even when I discovered the truth after worrying silently about what he might be lying about for six months. (Ok, maybe I did a bit or I wouldn't remember it, would I?) I discovered that time what a very bad liar he is. Which is sort of good.
And Jenstar, you're right. I'm his longest term client by several years now, and he says that since he has never had a client this long he'll learn with me where the relationship will go.
It's funny. He's certainly not without his flaws as a therapist. But he's even more certainly not without his strengths.
