It's about relationships. Life is all about relationships.

We learn how to change thoughts and behaviors to be able to cope with the outside world.

The T is also a mediator between two people. He helps you to see how your behavior is effecting another person.

My T helped me into drug recovery. I've been clean for 15 months now. He's helping me form new clean relationships. Now I have to fix and deal with all those underlying issues that got me into drugs. He helps me figure out what those are. You use alcohol and drugs to numb emotional pain.

He helps me deal with past abuse issues in a safe environment.

He first forms a theraputic relationship with you. You aren't going to tell all to a stranger.

He has made me a honest person. There isn't anything about me he doesn't know. When you release those problems inside of you, you feel the emotional pain let up.

My T told me it's like being constipated. You can hold it in and feel the pain, or you can let it out and feel the relief.

He doesn't tell you what to do or advises you what to do, he helps you decide what is right. He may ask if I would like to hear a suggestion, but it's up to me if I want it.

He makes you feel important and he cares about you. All attention is on you and he listens to everything you say.

It's wonderful!
