I have had the most wonderful therapist for nearly 15 years.... it DOES assuage my emotional pain- physical pain... I can only manage by trying to balance by feeling emotionally OK.... I know I always have my therapist in my life... but that hardest part is that there are SO many things I WANT to do but physically miss out on.... that's the most frustrating part.... I am returning to University- my freelance writing and public speaking has been instrumental to not only others, but to me as well.... it is a path I feel I must follow... I feel better when I help others feel better.....
