 I totally LOVE my therapist!!!! She is so loving and giving and understanding and kind and encouraging and empowering. She is incredibly insightful and intuitive and observant and she always hugs me when I arrive and she hugs me when I leave my appt. She ALWAYS tells me upon the beginning of our session that she is so happy to see me and she also tells me that she is very glad that I am there and she appreciates and values me. She is constantly uplifting me and giving me positive reinforcement. Such as telling me I'm beautiful or that she loves my hair or that I do a great job of waxing my eyebrows. She always comments on my outfits and shoes or jewelry if I am doing well enough to put some effort in getting dressed for the appt. but she also never judges me or acts disgusted when I arrive unshowered with greasy hair wearing my nightgown that I've been in for months! At those times, she still tells me that I am a beautiful woman. She is always commending me on my intelligence and my intuitiveness and my discernment and my insight-fulness and my observations on society in general....she says I have a gift of clarity and being able to sum up our society's declining values, morals, accountability and it's focus on physical traits instead of what a person is made of......she tells me I'm perceptive and she always is smiling at me and sometimes sheds a tear with me when she hears of something very traumatic I've just shared with her. She tells me she loves my type of sense of humor and she likes to ask me my opinion on current political events or current news stories. When I call her and say I'm too depressed to come to session, she doesn't get upset with me at all or try to talk me out of it......she just says "I'll tell you what. I'll just be sitting here in my office for your hour and if you show up, that would be great.....but if you find that you cannot make it, that is ok, too." We both have acknowledged to each other that if we were in a different set of circumstances, that we would both like to be good friends. She has dared to show me her human side and she has shared with me some very sensitive and private painful moments that she has endured. For me, that helps me to not be ashamed or afraid to tell her of some horrific ordeal I've been through. I have been shown that she is no stranger to pain, grief, loss, and lifes' ups and downs, therefore making her very human and a safe person to share my normally shameful memories with. She is very classy, dignified, extremely kind and generous, thoughtful, loving, supportive, encouraging and loving. I feel very blessed for God having brought her into my life. She is an amazing human being and one that I am proud to say that I have had the great honor or knowing and sharing my life with.
