Today, I’d like to share a little about one of my therapy sessions.
While every session is completely private and confidential, I have permission to share this journey because it demonstrates just how powerful therapy can be.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working with a wonderful client who was experiencing such overwhelming anxiety following the loss of a loved one that even leaving the house felt impossible. Simply attending our first appointment took an incredible amount of courage.
When we began, their only safe place was a particular room within their home. Together, we worked at a pace that felt right for them, taking small, manageable steps and building confidence along the way.
After just three sessions, I witnessed something truly special. My client arrived at their appointment without the overwhelming anxiety they had previously experienced. During today’s therapy, when we revisited their safe place, it was no longer confined to their home. Instead, they chose a holiday destination they had always loved—a place that represented freedom, happiness, and peace.
For many people, this may seem like a small change, but in reality it is a huge milestone. It represents the first time their sense of safety has extended beyond the walls of their home, opening the door to new possibilities and continued progress.
Therapy is rarely a quick fix. It is a journey built on trust, understanding, compassion, and working together to overcome challenges one step at a time. Seeing my clients grow in confidence, achieve goals they once thought were impossible, and reclaim parts of their lives is one of the greatest privileges of the work I do.
Moments like these remind me why I love what I do. 💜
