**One last thing, I asked him if all T's are crazy people, and he said there is a saying, "The best T is someone who has been f*cked up themselves at one point or another". (something like that) lol**
Well that's nice to hear. I was once f*ucked up myself, and got better and became a damn good therapist according to all my supervisors,etc. Good enough to get hired at Menninger's when they were ranked number one in the country. Now I am f*cked up again or shall I say the unfinished business has reared it's ugly head, and so now I would not consider doing therapy until I am not f*ucked anymore.
Your therapist sounds great like my therapist at Menninger's who I used to think was like Santa Claus. He was nothing to look at but had a great sence of humor. The only think I really knew about him was he was married to a psychiatrist, he had a cat, he had no children, and he loved the opera. That is it in all the years I saw him first as my hospital doctor and later as my therapist. So, over the course on and off of 14 years.
I am glad you found someone who seems like will be good. Me too, and I just hope I am not driving my therapist away. Don't think he is easily driven away, but I am sensitive to that right now what with some of my so called friends.
