What role do you see your therapist in?

First T: Strong Intimidating Woman figure. Empowering, but also very triggering.

Current T: Kind “big sister” mentor type. Wise. She is really good at validating while making me look at things in a way that almost forces me to consider self-care.
 
Definitely a professional. I'm a scientist and I feel that mutual respect in the room. However I'm also a specialist in animal behaviour/welfare - when I'm training an animal I optimise that special mix of art and science, and I'm passionate about building the relationship. My psychologist works similarly. I think that's why I never question the $ vs relationship because that's what I do with animals.
