Letter from A Former Group Member

 

 

Please send my best to your group- whether the members are known, or not known to me. They all have my respect. Hope in the midst of the stuff they're going through, that they realize what a rare and amazing thing they have together.

Think of you/"group" esp. when looking at our son. Can respond to him in ways that would be impossible without therapy. M is 14- talented, a joyful limit-tester! Playing heavy metal electric guitar- definitely "his own" self! Given up lots of rigidity as parent; able to operate in "shades of gray".

Happily married. You helped me develop a strong marriage... gave up wearing "the pants"!

Looking appreciatively at therapy years- continues to help me on daily basis. Learned to trust myself. Amazing the person you used to work with who couldn't cry-(only "leaked"), who couldn't assert self without passive-aggression, and couldn't protect herself/stand-up to father has turned into me. Grateful always for having had you in my life.
