I feel honored to be a therapist, chosen to assist others in their work of healing and growth.
It’s an interesting dynamic because I basically get paid to be in relationship, albeit a therapeutic one, and to share - research, life experiences, training, strategies, etc.

When I provide therapy ... I heal and I grow.
I don’t look for this to happen ... but it’s an organic phenomenon of the work I do.
Similar to “to teach is to learn twice.”
I’m thinking as I type this and may return to add more to this thread ...
