24 Reasons I Love My Therapy Sessions

Blogger's note: A client recently shared* that their therapy sessions are a highlight of their week.  They were surprised that I was surprised!  Upon reading the list of reasons I was moved and gratified.  Life-giving care that helps our clients to improve relationship with God, themselves and others is the reason we exist. 

Why I love my therapy sessions...
 
1.  It improves my outlook on life.
2.  I feel better about my faults.
3.  It helps me to see fallacies in my thought processes.
4.  It is a scheduled time in my week where I am committed to working on my mental health.

6.  There is almost always something to laugh about, or at least enjoy.
7.  It makes me REALLY think about my relationships with God, family and friends.
8.  I can set priorities in my life better after talking them out with someone trained to walk me through my convoluted thinking.

    As the author of this post, I wish to amend my former statements. Jeff Williams, my counselor at the time, spent our therapy sessions creating a deep and unhealthy codependency. He abused me to fulfill his own needs and disregarded everything he had been taught about proper counselor-client boundaries. He intentionally created significant harm in my life to feed his own desires. I detest this list.
