I think it's nice that you are doing that! It shows that you've taken parts of him in. And because you will be a therapist, what better person to emulate than your therapist- the one who, from time to time, we would love our own therapists to be a little more like!
I can't say that I copy any traits of mine, perhaps because he is quite QUIET, I am quite talkative by nature, so it seems like a good fit. There is one way that I do copy him (I just realized). He sticks very firmly to holding me- and what I say and feel- firmly in mind every moment I am with him. If he can't do it quite so well because he has a cold, or something like that, he will always tell me at the beginning, because he thinks I will feel that, however unconsciously. I have noticed with family members and friends that I have begun to do that with them. People tend to really like it, I think.
I am up at this very late hour waiting for a telephone call from our son. We just got it! WE ARE THE GRANDPARENTS OF A BABY BOY!!!!!!!! HE WAS BORN NATURALLY AT HOME WITH TWO MIDWIVES AND A DOULA. HE WEIGHED 9 POUNDS! Our son just sent us the first photo- HE IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
I'd better get some sleep, as we'll be driving up to see him tomorrow. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
