I was spilling my heart (and tears) about some of the more horrific abuses I'd endured as a child to this one therapist when I glanced up and noticed that she also had tears trickling down her cheeks too.

I was very moved by that. Finally ... A therapist who wasn't afraid to show empathy, compassion and feeling ... !!!

She was the best one I ever had, and because of her I made more progress in the 1.5 years we worked together than I did with all the others I worked with over a 16 year period.
