A therapist once arranged for me to meet with someone who had been through and had overcome what I was experiencing, but I was not able to believe that person truly understood where I knew my therapist already did. But then later I met some people with the same experience helping others as an avocation -- no professionals involved -- and that made all the difference in the world for me.
