hey turquoise (((smiles)))

imust of seen at least 7 different counselor/therapists... in the beginning and throughout i had difficult times and felt progress was very slow and clunky.. didnt stick and i really did want something to breakthrough somehow, but it just wasnt happening!

there were a few therapists i remember best... the first was a male, he listened... he talked to me.. he answered my questions... he validated me as aperson.. and he didnt always charge me...

the second was a woman... she went further than the average therapist in expressing her sincere caring that i find relief... she invited me to her house... we had spaghetti and talked.. she told me some of her own pains and frustrations... we almost shared ame levels then... but i still felt too inferior and still carried a lot of issues...

but each, because they were able to convince me that they possessed true compassion, made them stand out...

keep posting.. youre welcome here..... you cant post too much... we're all here to support... like you do...
