Day 1 with my therapist… I just want you to know right up…
“Day 1 with my therapist… I just want you to know right up front how I approach therapy. I can not give you any answers, only help you find them in yourself. Day 2 with my therapist… I can do nothing for you, you have all your answers; Hell, you should be my therapist. And so…I had taught her all I could, and moved on, giggling, having left her, with new questions.”
