Absolutely... validation is the greatest thing in the world for me.
And I agree with you about the personal stories. When she tells me things about her life, it tells me that she's comfortable with me and trusts me with it. There have been a lot of suggestions from others (not her) that I pushed the boundaries with Anne, but Ginny must not feel like I am with her or she wouldnt open up (in fact, shes said I never have, but still). Last session she mentioned something about "when I was at the ob/gyn before my son was born... and there were problems at the birth..." no specific details, but it makes her so real. I appreciate the openness. It's a shame some Ts are still taught in the "dont show or feel anything" model. I really do believe its valuable.
