Gratitude Day 5 - Therapists

Ah. Another day. In fact, it is a snowy, crappy day outside! It is the kind of day that makes you want to be inside reading a book in front of the fire, holding a cat!
I know that we need the snow, I live in a desert climate! But, I have had my fill. I am ready for it to be sunny and warm! Not too hot, of course, but warm. It's hard to be happy with the weather!

I have so many things to be grateful for in my life, there are times when it is hard to narrow it down to one post. Today is one of those days.

So, let's talk about therapy. Yes! The "are you crazy?" kind of therapy!

I have a wonderful therapist! She is excellent at her job! She is a straight shooter and gets to the point! There are times when she has pushed too hard, but I just came back and told her so! She has accepted that very well also.

My last session was focused on letting some deep, traumatic issues from my past go. Or at least lighten up in my mind. I think her techniques are working. I no longer have quite the deep painful memory that I once did. Oh, don't get me wrong... the issue is still there! It's just a lighter, less burdensome issue! I think we are making headway, considering it was only one session - so far.

So - today I am grateful for therapists. But let me be specific... I am grateful for the GOOD therapists!!
