I asked former clients to send me any ideas or assignments they thought were helpful. A response:
“I remember two assignments vividly. 1. Your use of a proxy to help me believe in me. The proxy was you. You said ‘if I have difficulty believing in myself, remember I believe in you and think of that’. I have often thought of that and how at our moments of weakness that I knowing that someone else believes in me, loves me, accepts me, etc. then it’s a pathway for me to get there. 2. Remember when you concluded I knew nothing of women? How true it was. You asked me to attend the all-women group therapy sessions after our individual session. I was listening and just blown away from the beginning. I learned in fact I knew nothing of women and how they thought, processed emotions, etc. Attending those sessions opened my eyes and allowed me to continue to be curious, to learn and mature.”
