It's interesting that you have that image... My therapist has talked about how he's not the same at home that he is in the room with me. But the most core components of him - his empathy, his good-natured humor/teasing, his ability to be nonjudgmental, are not things you just turn on and off at will. So while you probably get some 'techniques' that are part of him as a therapist and that he can 'take off', I'm also absolutely certain that you get some of the core, permanent, inalienable parts of him too. You have been with him so long I'm sure you have touched him personally. And he can't take that off either.
