It was amazing how I felt like I could be able to communicate and for him to meet me where I need to be there to listen. To break things down for me to understand the scopes of what I’m feeling. For him to relate and connect so I can try to navigate what I’m feeling and going through. I’m very thankful I was matched with Michael and to have his expertise to navigate what I am going through.
