She and the agency sound like a really good match. It looks like you've found a keeper!

Thanks ECHOES !!!! Yes, I think I found a keeper. It is so calming to me that they don't call the cops or ambulances to terrify you if you are in a crisis. Why can't more be like that? More people would go for help knowing that and be open to being honest with their feelings. That agency has probably saved many lives with the way that they handle things.
Thank you also for the compliments. It was hard for me to say that to her, but I also knew that if I did not, then my progress would be extremely slow as I would continue to be terrified of her. I loved her response, so now I am very comfortable and can make quicker progress. YAY ME !!!! I stopped and got a smoothie at Tropical Smoothie as a reward to myself for following through and going to therapy and doing as well as I did. Positive reinforcement :O)
