Therapy can be a really slow road. Some of my clients come in and want me to fix them, thinking that as the therapist I must have a magic wand and I can just wave it and they will be cured.  I have no magic wand. It's hard sometimes having to tell a client that all they can do is keep coming to therapy, and processing, and growing, and learning and crying, and fighting, and letting go and whatever else it is they need to do. Or to try and be aware of the void they have, what's causing it and how to fill it with healthy means instead of with drugs or sex or alcohol or whatever they choose to fill it with. Its such a wonderful thing to witness someone's gentle process of change. And to know they trusted me enough to let me walk the path with them, to witness it all. 

I feel really blessed to share that journey with people.
