Testimonial
I just received written feedback from a client who found our work together helpful, and I have a chance to share it with you. (The client gave permission.) Here is the feedback, with editing to protect the client’s identity:
“Stephen, thank you for working with me. I have enjoyed getting to know you, and talking with you. It may not have seemed like it at times, but I found our work together helpful. I’m not good at expressing myself, and I need time to mull things over before they sink in, so I wanted to let you know that I always left your office with challenging, comforting, enlightening thoughts to think. You wrote on your blog recently that therapy should be more like massage than CPR, and I agree. Leaving your office felt more like leaving a massage appointment: I felt a little exposed, and my (mental and emotional) muscles were a little sore, and it wasn’t until some later situation in which I had a chance to use those muscles that I truly appreciated the work we had done. It has made a difference to me and you have my gratitude. Thank you.”
