Partless, that sounds like a lovely place to be

Wow, so many responses, I have been reading them all again and thinking about everyone's replies.
I would never show my scars, and also I would not work with clients if I was in a place where I was currently harming. I agree that that would mean I am not stable enough to support others. But it's been lovely reading the well wishes, and support, and I guess it's true that different people need different things from their T's. I was feeling rather discouraged yesterday, but better now, and resolved even more to work through all my own issues so I can be that t, for someone.
