Yes, indeed... compassion is necessary! Did you know that a baby when born, if not held at all...will die? You can give the baby warmth, sustenance, physical care such as diaper changes, but if not held...

I'm glad you survived what you went through...and that you are nearly through it comparatively.

Therapy does work It's tough to hang in there when you don't "see" or "feel" anything working in therapy...but to eventually see results like this recharges you.
