Seeing clients grow and learn more about themselves is one of the best rewards a therapist can experience. There is something about watching the journey a client goes through from when they first come into therapy and when they are transitioning out of it. Like watching a ship thats so overladen with cargo it can't sail with the weight. It's on the verge of sinking, and each week in therapy, the client is unloading their cargo bit by bit. At the end of the therapeutic journey, still with some cargo, they leave sailing on the ocean, lighter and with more skills to handle the weight of the cargo and the skills to throw it overboard if it gets too much.
