Enough time Quote by Emma Dibdin
““I’m worried that I haven’t said a lot of this very well, and that we don’t have enough time for me to tell you everything properly. I’ll forget what I have and haven’t told you in between sessions, you’ll forget things because I talk too fast, I’ll forget important details because I assume you know them, and you won’t understand me because of that. I’ve never tried to make this make sense to someone else before.””
