I really appreciate Pam for being a sounding board and offering solutions. She doesn't tell me what to do, but simply talks through the situation and shares her knowledge & what she has learned as gifts. I have had a lot of therapists, and due to my self-awareness, they tend to tell me that I don't actually need them. It makes my heart really very happy to have someone who is willing to listen to my "venting" (my concerns and frustrations) without expecting me to act totally broken. This not only helps me realize how and I am feeling, but also discover what is truly bothering me. Thank you for being here, Pam.
