In reply to Do you think your T really .....?, posted by JayMac on September 27, 2008, at 15:40:24
Jay,After hundreds of hours together I would think he must! Unless he's sitting there daydreaming about vacations or thinking about his dry cleaning, and I'm sure that happens some times, but most of the time he is very present with me. And let's face it, it is their job to "learn" us, isn't it? Yes, I do think my T knows me as well, if not better, than my best friend. But the information is different, and she knows things about me from her own experience that he couldn't. And different people have different perceptions of you too, don't they?Anyway, "knowing" someone is dynamic and as much them as you.
Having said all that, there are certainly times when I realize he's completely clueless or puzzled or just coming at something "wrong" - although maybe he's just knowing me in his own way and not in mine at those times.
Always an interesting topic to think about - how other people know us.
