Hello chiachick. I was wondering what your friend would say if you asked her what she would recommend if a 'client' goes to her with the 'same' problem/trauma. Would your friend recommend dope? How would your friend work with this person?

I want to congratulate you in being such a good and caring friend. There aren't many people like you who would stay by someone who puts you down by telling you that you don't understand and doesn't have the 'experience' or 'education' to understand what she went through.

I have been through some traumas myself, and that doesn't excuse me for my actions. Sure they do affect me some ways but not everything.

Anyway, good luck with your friend, and please, take care of yourself. Hugs.
