I met mine 3 years before she became my T. Because she used to do the paperwork (PASAR) required to get people with mental health issues into long term care like nursing homes and asissted living facilities. And at the time I needed 24 hour watching because i couldn't gaurentee my safety AND i needed physical care too.

So we met for this thing where she asked me stuff like what i wanted out of therapy. And my issues. It turned out we had the love of dogs in common speciffically working dogs. I was sad when i found out she wouldn't be my T because I was going to a diffrrent area.

3 years later I came back to this area and I got her as T! I was SO happy! And i was right. She is very insightful, friendly yet follows boundaries, has been the bezt T i have ever had, and i trust her, and can count on her. There are few people i can actually trust. i have had my share of not the best T 's.
