At first I thought the wrong thing when I read your subject line! LOL. Just my dirty mind hard at work.
Empathy. My therapist is very empathetic. When we rehash painful past issues, she will pause and say (something along these lines) "that must have been very painful for you". I know it sounds trite, but she is utterly sincere at that moment. Something in her voice, her expression, her posture. I feel comforted merely to sit there in silence and take in her empathy. It is very soothing.
