The care that you gave me, the wisdom you’d tell
Aye, Therapist, I miss your compassion
The client who loved you is not doing well.
There is nobody kinder or gentler than The Therapist when he is kind. I felt safe to tell him how I felt about circumstances and people in my life, and the choices I was making, no matter what they were.
I admired his ability to understand what I meant and how he communicated with me in a way that didn’t feel judgmental. He was skilled at helping me focus on the critical aspects of issues and problems when I was overwhelmed.
I had so much pressure from life on me when I was his client. It felt comforting and empowering to have someone with his empathy and gentleness and with his strength and emotional intelligence looking out for me.
The support he gave me was truly wonderful to have.
