My T doesn't do anything for me other than the standard therapy hour, and she seems to have pretty water-tight boundaries in general so I feel confident in saying she doesn't really do "special" things for clients (and especially not to make them feel special).
What she does do is be ultra consistent both from session to session and also within each session, which is really special to me. I haven't experienced that before (probably not many people have) and I really value it. |

Although my therapy was always conducted in a professional way, I felt we had a special relationship. And that we were special to each other. By this I don't mean I was any better than anyone else, just that there was a specific personal bond between us that was beyond professional. My therapy was very powerful and healing experience.

She has created a safe place for me to open up to her and trust her. She has made it possible for me to feel like therapy is a great benifit in my life. With her boundaries i can call her on a tough day and i see her every 3 weeks on a day that works for both of us. Truly this is always what i had hope for. After years of very rigid therapy.

T has told me one thing that he's said he hadn't at that point shared with any other clients, but I don't think he'd necessarily never tell anyone else. Other than that, I'd say he probably is more open in general with client's that he's been seeing for a longer time, so I might count myself to a 'special' group of people that know him a bit better than people who only just started seeing him a bit ago.

When I think of those experiences, they tend to be ones that don’t translate well into writing. The ones that come to mind for me are ones that are felt in the moment, but might lose their specialness if I tried to write them down.

This sounds silly but after I did my epi exam I started this thing of finding a quote and using it to start the session off. The first three were all star trek themed. The following two sessions I noticed that he was doing the same thing and he gave me a star trek quote and an alice in wonderland one.
He also gave me a full session during one of his longer 4 week breaks in the summer. He forgot that he had already said replied to one of my I passed emails, so he replied twice ! We've also had sessions where I've been thinking of a set phrase for how I was feeling and he pulled that out of me without saying it out aloud. __________________ "Love, like life, flows Through the heart.

I wouldn't say it made me feel special, per se, but I thought it was nice of her and she went above and beyond. When I was in patient, she visited me twice each time. She didn't have to, and was really awesome about it all.

With current T, nothing and that's fine by me. If she tried to make me feel special, it would also make me very uncomfortable. I don't want or need that validation from a T.

I was in a dissociative state, she gave me a blanket to wrap around me. I still have the blanket. Another time i was in a dissociative state and she drove me to the hospital, gave me a sandwich, cut it for me, and held my hand. I felt like i was 5. Recently, the memory of that surfaced, and i recalled it for her, she said it happened three years ago, and she did that for an adult. Yet my memory still portrays myself as a 5 year old. I felt cared for, safe, and loved. I didnt tell her that. How i felt as a 5 year old vs what i feel as an adult 45 year old i cant talk about.

Last week, I went to my appointment and it was snowing and raining quite significantly. I travel about 40 miles to my appointment but took it slow and was fine. I am her last appointment and when the appointment ended the roads where horrible. She travels about 30 miles in the opposite direction from me. Shortly after I got home I received a text from her checking to see if I got home safely. It made me feel cared for
