She is not afraid to tell me how it is. While she tells me she cares about me, I know she doesn't love me the way my best friend and family does. Often they worry about hurting me where as T knows my strength and knows how to help me deal with whatever happens.

I tend to protect the people I care about and don't want to hurt them. Especially hubby, I know he really worries about me so I try to protect him when I am in pain. I know T doesn't need to be protected.

Having C-ptsd my family and friends have no idea how to help me when it comes to triggers. T has helped me to deal with those triggers.

I tend to be very critical of myself especially when it comes to parenting. She has been very consistent and patient in helping me realize my positive qualities and how much a great mom I am. My friends and family usually say the same things but I have an easier time hearing from somebody who has such experience of the good and bad. She has met all my children and speaks highly of them...
