A Letter to My Past, Present, and Future Clients

When we are not in session, I think about you. I wish and pray for peace and understanding in your life. I SEE YOU. I see your pain. I want so badly to heal your aching heart. I can see a bright future for you, even if you have no hope right now. I know that it’s not by chance that you are sitting in my office with me. You were brought to me.

Your presence in my life changes the way I look and feel about my own life. You make me want to be a better therapist. Most days I think about what I can do to help you on your healing journey. If I am stuck, I seek out additional resources and tools to be the best therapist I can be for YOU.

Yes, there are days when I get frustrated (as do you) with what is happening in and out of session. I know deep in my soul that you deserve happiness and freedom from the pain of the past. When I hear the same struggles over and over, I want to scream out to the universe, then breathe and continue with you on your journey, leading you down the path of change and healing. You are very important to me. There is a greater plan for you, and I believe I am someone who can help get the obstacles out of your way so you can experience immense happiness and deeper connections in your life.

I am with you on this journey. I have been through the shit and I am willing to drudge through the shit with you. You might feel broken, but you are NOT broken. It’s time to put the pain of the past in the past where it belongs.

I am here for you when you are ready.

With love and respect, Sarah
