My session Monday was really good!

(The only annoying part to me was that I misjudged the time and was about 50 minutes early and didn’t know what to do with myself. I felt quite emotional before the session and that made the time waiting move very slowly. )
We started out talking about something I’d refused to talk about last year. But after our discussion, I have new perspective on how to handle something.
We talked about my homework that i had during my therapy vacation and how that work has affected me and we ended the session with me telling her a list of things I want to work on this year.
She said I was different in the session… more confident…more solid... more focused. (and I wasn’t staring at her shoes!

) She seemed pleased with my progress. I still have more work to do in order to achieve the overall goals, but I couldn’t have gotten here without her. I don’t know how she does it, but from the day I met her, she continues to offer me hope.

A year ago, I didn’t have any hope.
When I met her in that first session, there was something about her that told me that she was good at her job. It was nothing about what she said – just a strong feeling on my part. I’m so glad I trusted that feeling and kept going back.
I’m also very grateful to have found the PC community.

It definitely has helped me get to this point.
I am looking forward to see where this all will take me.
Here’s to 2012 and continuing on this path to better mental and emotional health.
p.s. Aaaand…. I was her first client of the year!
