I saw numerous T's years ago , walked away for a few decades..

My current T and I have been together for over 5 years now ! He's an amazing person , he has helped me in so many ways , He helped me realize that I do indeed deserve love and to continue to walk this earth.

He's 68 and is going to retire at some point. We both acknowledge that him and I have waded through some very ugly stuff, He has learned alot from me about my particular Bipolar soup..... he listened and nudged me or flat out pushed me if I needed it ..LOL

I didnt need a cheerleader when I jumped back in the Therapy pool , I needed someone to help me fight the difficult hard horrible past that I needed to get through.

I often think of the day that we will have our last session , It will be tear filled but he literally has saved my life many many times. It will be a session with a mass overdose of Chocolate cake !

I learned one valuable lesson " if therapy isn't hard your not really doing it right" (Hense why I left T for a few decades)
