“I really appreciated that you helped me see, and unpack all that I was carrying. My brain, feelings/emotions were not connecting. I will keep that little diagram close to my chest from now on because I knew that what I was feeling was simple, but I just could not connect the dots, or articulate it. Thank you.” - Counselling Client, 2024
