WePow thanks for the kind words!
T was really something- she said. "Let me start, my sister died". And we talked a few minutes about that. She was clearly struggling with her grief, and made it clear she had good support from others. I let her know I was having a hard time, but did not expect her to be back, and asked her if she was okay to do this She smiled and told me she was talking with a mentor and she wanted to explain in case she seemed different, but yes, she was fine to do T. She also pointed out that she had never dealt with anything like this before, and whaddya know, talking about it helped. Then she was quick to change the focus to me... and we had a very good session.
Even in her grief, she is using her experiences to help others. I am amazed and humbled.
