I have been lucky enough to have great therapists, but also my share of not so good ones. It really is a crap shoot. even when you do your due dilience.

I’m sure there are plenty of good ones but some I wonder about.

That’s exactly what I thought, too, Rachel!

We have a right to feel all of our feelings good and bad otherwise you don’t appreciate the nicer happier feelings.

Can’t imagine advising someone to put away all feelings of grief and sadness, like they’re wrong. Crazy. Its my memories of my father that bring me joy. Love your guide.

I was pretty surprised. It goes against all best practices.

Yes, exactly! What a gift that was to your friend!

When our good friend’s father went home, we went over to our friend’s place and told him we wanted to hear all about his father. He talked for four hours. It was truly wonderful!
