Honestly, I just feel like a totally different person. I mean, before we met, I just was so lost and confused. I couldn’t understand why I was feeling the way that I felt. I couldn’t understand why I was always so negative, why everything was so challenging and difficult, and I couldn’t navigate anything. I was so anxious. I felt depressed.

And then you just kinda helped me untangle it all. I suppose. Analyze it. And it’s funny I do that all the time. Now, I always analyze things. Why’d I feel like that? Or why did I think that thought. What does it mean? I’ve become like, you say, really, really curious.

I don’t have judgment anymore. I don’t judge my thoughts. I recognize a lot of it is from trauma and I just feel so grounded. So self-assured.

I know me better than I’ve ever known me.

I really like me. I’m a good person.

Do you know what it’s almost like? That outer shell that kind of keeps you burdened has left and it’s gone. You know. You’ve not got that massive rock on your back weighing you down. Now, I just feel really free.

I’m just feeling really independent and strong. That what it is. I feel like an adult, not a child,

and that was something I always wanted to achieve.
