"Strongly Recommend"

I told my therapist during our first session that I was cynical about talking therapy and doubtful that it would be useful or helpful for me. However, she remained helpful, approachable and non-judgmental throughout our sessions, and everything was taken at my own pace and with my needs or concerns at the forefront. In spite of my cynicism, my practitioner taught me several techniques, which were and are incredibly useful and have been helpful. Further, she was in particular an insightful and friendly voice on the other end of the phone, and I found that I was actively looking forward to my sessions. I feel like a different person having coming out of the process, and with each session - no matter how bad I was feeling before - I finished feeling slightly better, relieved and listened to. Having her there was a gift.
