Hank, here's an example of an email she responded to:

I told H about session yesterday. I told him exactly this regarding your statement that I'm worth more than the risks: "I know what these risks are, so it meant a lot to me that she said that." He replied, "Hmph, your reading into it too much; people take risks all the time and don't think about the consequences. It's not that big a deal. But I will say, you're not assuming the worst. I guess that's progress." I said, "She seems to put a great deal of thought and prayer into her clients. I appreciate that." He went, "Hmph" again and that was the end of the conversation.

He took something that meant a lot to me and tried to minimize it. Your statement made me feel like I was worth something to someone; you've tried to convince me of my inherent worth for quite some time. You make an enormous impact on my life for the better.

But in the back of my mind, a little voice doubts, saying "Is he right? Is it really not that big a deal?"

Is he right?

Her response:

Don't let others steal your joy! *It might not be a big deal to someone else-they might not struggle with self worth. So it would not mean much to them. The truth is that I do think about the consequences of my choices especially when it comes to my clients and to my profession.
Your worth is set by God not by others or their opinions.
Have a great weekend

It's fairly representative of the email correspondence we've had.
