Footprints
When I first heard this song a few days ago, it brought to mind my relationship with my therapist. It’s strange how I seem to be able to connect a lot of things to therapy. Because of the boundaries that exist in any therapy relationship, there have been times where I felt like my therapist […]

What’s This Now? A Therapy Break?
It was one of those therapy sessions where it felt like I was talking to a best friend. It flowed, conversation was easy and seemed effortless. Relationship with Therapist has been great. There was a little bit of a rupture a few weeks ago, but we got past that quickly. Thank god. But I learned […]
