I think there's also the perspective of a t "mattering" as in making a difference in the world, because through their work the potential is there to help their client learn how to help themselves, help their client want to matter in the first place, and then help their client find their own path to mattering in the world.

or something.

this question inspired some deep thinking in me this morning that I'm not really able to put into words....

My t matters to me, I think she also matters in the world because of how much she has helped me and I'm sure if she's helped me this much, she's helped other clients as well though of course I can't speak for anyone else.

I started thinking and haven't even read the article yet though oops
