I really love therapy. I’m really big on communication and talking anyway so that’s probably why. I also feel that for the most part I’ve been fortunate enough to have some pretty good therapists. 

I had an appointment yesterday and I must say, I really love my current therapist. She’s always building me up and reminding me of my worth. She’s constantly reminding me of how smart, intelligent, self aware I am. It really makes me feel good, smart, intelligent and self aware. LoL. 

I do feel that I am these things, she’s also not the only therapist (or person in general to mention these things). But I do, per the norm, start to wonder if she means it. I mean I’m sure they don’t go around just inflating everyone’s head telling everyone how intelligent they are, do they? 

I’m not here to boast, I do believe myself to be smart. I suppose overall it’s just really nice to have that VALIDATION!!! I guess I just question its sincerity. Because well, that’s what I do... 

Anyway, I do love therapy and highly recommend it. I’m ramping up my sessions to weekly which I’m also excited about. I’ve also had the same therapist for 1.5 years which is so exciting because I had 3 in 1 year prior to her and THAT SUCKS- I almost quit therapy at that point. 

Working with the same person for this long has been great, I’ve been able to open up further about certain things and expand further about my past, and deal with current issues, I’m making strides in all areas and have so much more to go! I have so much more to disclose but have waited to ensure I could trust her and that she wasn’t going anywhere, it’s so nice to finally have that relationship! 

I had read somewhere years ago that the point of a relationship between a therapist and a patient is to show the patient that there can be a trusting relationship in their life. My current therapist is reviving all hope for authentic / trusting / loving relationships in my life.  

I hope you all find someone as great as she is even if it’s not a therapist but just someone you can trust.
