Hi Karen, welcome to our group.

I have been with my therapist for about 2 1/2 years now. He is there for me 24/7 if I need him. I have permission to get ahold of him whenever I need him.

He genuinely cares about me and has shown it in a number of ways. There are many times I just show up at his office - the only safe place I have - and made time for me and not charged me. He has come in at 8am (instead of 9) and stayed past 5 so that we can talk.

He accepts me for who and what I am - no one else ever has. I consider him my friend, although we don't socialize or anything outside of hours, but he is there for me........and that is what counts, whether it is in person or by phone or email.
