My therapist listens! No judgment. When I’m being hard on myself and unrealistic, she has a way of making see the truth. She gives informed advice.
I like that she’s willing to put me in her schedule more than once a week if I need to talk. She’s responsive and checks in on me all the time. I don’t have to hide who I am with her. She makes it comfortable for me to be myself with her.
