I know exactly what you mean, Dory- I had something vaguely like that happen. It was with a woman I saw briefly, (she wasn't a T, exactly- more like an alternative kind of 'life coach').
I was telling her something from when I was a kid, that I thought sounded like it was really trivial- but when I looked at her she had tears in her eyes... I felt like the air had been knocked out of me. It was like- "OMG- this really WAS horrible, and it's ok for me to be upset about it!"
It's so powerful when somebody else doesn't just 'get it'... but they FEEL it, too.
It is a validation, I guess; can't think of any other word for it.arora
