Probably no one remembers me. That may be for the best... Since I last was active, I've gotten a new, great job. I'm using my degree, and have been working as a therapist. I've been reading here, but feel weird about posting. To be a patient as well as a therapist.... it's weird.

I am in a weird place. I'm m.i. But I am also a well-trained clinician, with a Master's degree. What I need is a place to be open and honest about me as a client. But I feel strange. I feel ackward.

I'm having a very difficult time in therapy now. And I know some people here don't want a therapist who has issues of her own treating them. I'm a good clinician , with good supervision and excellent training. I k ow what I'm doing. But in my own life I still struggle.

I want to belong here again. I want to post again. As moonrise. As an honest moonrise, who sits on both sides of the room.

As a client, I feel so small and hurting, wanting, needing. As a therapist I'm wise, compassionate, strong. How odd that I'm both.

Am I welcome here? I'm interested in all thoughts, because I really want to know. I've gotten much support from many of you in the past, and I want to still be a part of the community.
