I get to talk. Instead of only listening to the therapist. She allows me to speak and get my thoughts out so I can receive her words when she speaks.

I'm very thankful to have this service available to me. Sometimes it's just a casual conversation, but mostly it gives me a sounding board for what I'm feeling and experiencing between our sessions. It helps to talk it out and get someone else's perspective.
