Today in therapy:
Client: "But I can't just *leave* the conversation."
Me: "Actually, you can."
Client smiles, tasting freedom for the first time.

The first time I "just left the conversation" at age 28, I also had to flee as my partner started loading his gun in an attempt to force me to stay and talk.
I certainly wasn't tasting freedom that day, but that harrowing experience did help teach me how to protect myself.

What a harrowing situation. Fortunately, there were no safety concerns in today's conversation.

Are you actively seeing patients? I know you don’t take new ones, but I was unaware you still practiced!
