I would like to express my appreciation for my T. I am so grateful he is honest, open, and genuine. So far, no matter what I have told him, he has shown acceptance and understanding - despite my fears of his reaction towards me.
He is very positive oriented - he sees the good in everyone, and focuses on my positive traits in a really helpful manner.
I also want to say thanks to all the other loving and caring therapists out there!

sounds like you have a wonderful T.
I think I do too.
She understands me to the degree that NO ONE ever has. It's so amazing that sometimes I feel overwhelmed by such understanding for where I'm coming from ..... yes, they can be quite a gift! to FINALLY be heard!(it's amazing......)

I had a wonderful T for five years. Just wonderful. So caring and supportive. Listened intently, made thoughtful and insightful comments. Prodded me with questions that helped me learn to understand my emotions without pushing me too hard. I ended therapy with him just a month ago and still miss seeing him. I will see him for meds once every few months. He is 70 years old and just works part-time now. I hope he doesn't retire for another few years. I would hate to not have him in my life.

I celebrate my therapist and the relationship I have built with him. Not that I think he's perfect, but there is something healing about recognizing his imperfections and still valuing the relationship we have painstakingly built.
I honor his willingness to examine himself and his part of our relationship, and to be appropriately honest about himself in our relationship. It seems like a rare enough quality in therapists. To be honest, not about his life, but about the here and now.
I love the way he is receptive and open, but with a solid core that all my storms can't shake. It makes him safe. I love the sense of humor he's allowed himself to show in the therapy room. I love his good sense in relationships.

You are so sweet and extremely thoughtful. But I just started with a new T and right now do not feel like celebrating her.
