Touching story

These story about a psychiatrist and a former patient was in our newspaper recently. It shows how strongly they affected each other, even though they only had one session. It also shows how a simple "thank you" can be so important.

Thanks for sharing sunny

That's a very nice story, thank you for sharing it.

Sunrise,
Thanks for sharing this story. The timing couldn't have been better. For some unknown reason while walking this morning listening to my son's ipod, out of the blue my minded started connecting some recent chance coincidences. One after the other key decisions I'd made started popping up one at a time in reverse order. After my walk, had a busy morning cleaning and running around. The next thing you know I'm standing at Borders looking at the cover of a book I read over 11 years ago saying wholly crap! The book I was looking at was The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.

Now I log on and see your posts, that seemly contains yet another coincidence that does seem to be all that random. Boy there are some days when stuff just smacks you in the face and you have no choice but to say, there is something working behind the scenes.

Thank you Sunny. I enjoyed reading the story. It was beautiful.

Peace

oh wow an incredible story. The whole naming her cat Penny and not knowing why is something I can understand.

I do believe in 'after life hints' I call them. I told my T the story of how I picked him.

I was feeling much like Paletta in this story. I printed off 10 pages of therapists names from my insurance plan.

I circled a few of them. I put the papers on my dresser. A few days later I was really spiraling out of control.

I opened my deceased Aunt's hope chest and started looking through her old newspaper clippings. Long story short, she was more of a mother to me than my own. I have felt her prescense at various times in my life.

Well...as I looked through the protected clippings, one caught my eye. My Aunt was getting an award from her job for a community driven event that she ran.

Her bosses name? The exact same name as my T...will call him John Doe but you get the point.

Here I was at my lowest point and I came across that name. I knew I saw it somewhere before and grabbed the papers off my dresser. Sure enough, there it was that name, my T's exact name, was one of the circled therapists.

There is a funny point to this. At first when I called to make an appt I was told the office near my house he didn't have anymore. I panicked thinking I don't care where he is, I'm going!!!!

Lucky for me, he had another office 5 minutes from where I was working. How about that? My Aunt picked the right therapist for me and she didn't give me a long drive either.

I have told T how all of this happened a few times. The first time I told him was 8 months into therapy.

I was afraid to tell him because I already was attached to him and I thought he would think I was some stalker type...

I don't know if it touched him, I couldn't tell that but he knows how special my Aunt is to me and that is when I started to talk about her it was 8 months into therapy.

My T is special to me for that reason and many others including how he helps me and has stuck with me.

Thanks for sharing this story and reminding me of how special my T is...

i'll do it again and just watch.. it will show up

thanx for sharing this... i am glad there are still some people in the world who have real hearts.
