I really like that he is a good combination of gentle acceptance but willing to challenge me on things.
I like that he is honest about how he is feeling. He told me while ago he was feeling very protective of me, which was making it hard for him to stay nuetral about my husband. Last week I asked him if the intensity of things I was bringing into therapy right now were scary for him, especially these unnamed feelings for him. He said "yes, sometimes, but I can handle it."
I like that he accepts small, symbolic gifts and cards.
I like that he swears occasionally.
I like that he teases me.
I like that he uses my name to make a point.
I like that he is never late for appointments.
I like that he recognizes that something important or stressful happened at work if I come to therapy with my red shoes on. And I like that I can take them off and curl up in the corner of his couch.
