I saw my therapist the first time and felt a strong connection, sense of hope, and like he was going to be the key I had been looking for, to moving forward.

Unfortunately, I was unable to see him again for a month. It was really hard because I felt I had finally found something/someone who was going to help.

He called me during this time and left a message on my cell phone. I remember it said, "I look forward to helping you heal."

I must have replayed that message a gazillion times. Someone wanted to help me heal! I hadn't even known that was my problem, that I needed healing. And here I had a found a man to do it. It was incredible. I had instant hope.
