I love mine. They’re also autistic, have dogs, and call me out when I try and change the subject off of something difficult. At first I worried that meeting over video call would affect how body language is read, but, no, seems to work fine.

My first therapist was also great and had a dog. Maybe that’s the rule?

Oh, and fuck health insurance sideways. They’re consistently at least 6 months behind in reimbursing me for seeing an out-of-network therapist.
