I remember once someone asked me what would happen if my therapist wasn't feeling a 100%, or was upset over something, or was having a really bad day, or was very stressed out...add a similar scenario of choice. I thought about it for a bit and replied, truthfully, "I guess he just won't be in top form during our session." I went on to say that it actually meant more trust between us for me. If over the course of a relationship that covers many years the other party never 'powers down', for whatever reason, it would make me really anxious, for I would never be able to relate. I'd actually like to think my therapist isn't always performing at 100%. (I'm sure he isn't.) It's not just about him being human, it's about us both being human and therefore equal.:)

(Using my teamwork icon because that's what therapy is, isn't it?:))
