I believe the healing one seeks in therapy begins by revealing one’s private self to another. It’s a place that’s earned, slowly but surely, when client and therapist tell the truth to each other.

Doing so is the heart of the therapeutic relationship; one built on trust and vulnerability.

DM me if you think this is for you.
