It’s been a year since I started pursuing a relationship with a therapist.  I am convinced that this was a gift from God that brought enormous amounts of healing in my life. People have all kinds of opinions about therapy, about counselors. Some are apprehensive, some are open.  I have referred kids and parents for years to great counselors as a part of my work.  I regret waiting until I was deeply depressed to go myself. It was one of the greatest decisions I have ever made. In the process, I learned to love myself better, to get rid of much of my negative talk, to release my hate to God and allow him to reconcile me to my brother. There is so much more that I could share, but I want to make this point. Therapy is a gift!  It has been a process of agony and pain, joy and celebration. Therapy helped me and helps me want to live, to live better, to live more full and more present.  It helped me connect to Jesus in new and exciting ways. I am so thankful.  Wednesday I will go for another session.  I look forward to each appointment the way I look forward to a get together with amazing friends, or a vacation.  I am so thankful.  God, I am so grateful you led me into this process and have guided me step by step through it.  It’s a very cool anniversary God!  Thank you!
