Therapy is a two-way street and I have gained so much wisdom from my clients. Here's a sampling;

The human spirit can survive extreme adversity, pain & abuse.
Believe in your dreams and they’ll believe in you.
Children are resilient and magical.
To truly love others, you must first love yourself.
Parental love heals.
Healthy, happy couples create healthy, happy children.
Even the most attractive, talented & successful people can feel lonely.
Being honest with yourself helps you heal.
People can appear very differently than they feel.
Reach out and someone may hold your hand.
You are not alone.
Laughter really is the best medicine.
Being honest with yourself is as scary as it is liberating.
Your abuser may never admit what he/she has done but you can free yourself from the pain anyway.
You’re only as ill as the secrets you keep.
It’s okay to feel angry.
Marriages can get better if you are both committed and willing to work hard.
A little understanding stretches a mile.
This too shall pass.
