Thank you for sharing that post with us and for reminding us what we all deserve as we walk on this road to healing. Though the walk is hard and long with many turns and twists in the road, having someone to which we can talk to and express ourselves to openly and honestly is something to be grateful for.

Therapy is not easy and it is not something that all have. Our therapist is one who contains qualities you wrote about and we are very thankful for that. Our team are those that carry those things for us too.

We walk here amongst many all walking this road together willing to listen and accept us for who we are as they are accepted for who they are. PC offers hope to us and to many in a way that touches deep within where many times we have shut down and hidden. Many here give that connection that otherwise would not be.

We have been so blessed to come here and to be heard and listened to many times when it felt as though the world did not notice or could not hear. Maybe sometimes the world does not have that ability where the connection can be made as they have not walked in a place where understanding resides.

We are truly blessed by our friend who has all these qualities, who listens and hears. Knowing that gives us hope in an otherwise blacken place at times. We are so grateful. I think caring for ourselves might be the key to being able to accept those that step into our lives. But that is not always easy and many times cannot exists until we begin to trust ourselves and to see beyond that place that starts out holding us blind to any truth.

Many within this forum carry these traits and give so much of themselves to listen, support, care, encourage, accept, and love. Maybe because so many know right where we are for they have been there walking themselves. Knowing what someone is saying and connecting in a place a commonarity gives an understanding and hope that maybe never existed.

So thank you for reminding us of what we deserve and that we can many times look right here among the post and those walking here and feel those very things, but that we can also get to the place where we can look inside ourselves and begin to accept what has been there all the while but buried beneath all the lies and hurt.

Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
