Lots of reasons...

- I feel it is genuinely helping me.
- I'm beginning to feel more like a person on a journey of healing & discovery, rather than just a collection of symptoms and diagnosis.
- I get on really well with my Pdoc. His boundaries are clear enough that I feel safe (I've had a previous Pdoc violate boundaries in a way that was predatory and abusive), but flexible enough at the same time that I'm able to feel a positive connection with him. I also really like the fact that while we definitely have a clearly defined patient/therapist relationship, he still speaks to me on an equal level and never patronises or talks down to me.
- More often than not our sessions are really fun and enriching.
- The majority of time I come out of a session feeling really buoyed up and positive, then I take a few days to process what was said/discussed and absorb the information and then try to find ways to apply it to various life situations.
