I was in psychiatric hospital with severe depression last summer. My T came to meet with me and the psychiatrist there. I had been feeling angry as well as depressed, but as soon as I saw him, my anger melted away. I told him this and he said, well, we're a good team.
This was so moving to me for some reason. And it's true. We have been a good team. Our sessions are almost always worthwhile and productive. I feel like every session is magic, although, at the beginning, when I was in the throes of transference love, my T would always say -- I'm not a magician or a miracle worker. All I do is bear witness. You're doing this yourself.
