What I have to say tonight is rather brief. I intend to keep it that way:
As she walked towards me I could not recognize her. She stated, “thank you for the kind words.” I looked at her with a blank stare. She asked, “Don’t you recognize me?” I said, “---Name---?” It was my former client. I terminated therapy with her two weeks ago because she was in a better place now and decided that she did not need therapy any longer.
What a transformation. She went from a female with a tom boy style to appearing more like a business women. During therapy she managed to: move out of her mother’s house, get certified as an assisted living caregiver, and increase self-esteem and confidence.
The best part of this experience: She thanked me for helping her. She was grateful, she was happy. I made a difference one person at a time.
Thank you god for giving me the ability to help others and ask for nothing in return because the satisfaction I get from seeing my patient in a better space is all I need.
