Therapists get therapy too ...

/ The Grove Counselling & Therapy/

Today I was held

Held in the embrace of another

Not in their arms

But in their willingness to be with me

In the depth of my unidentified pain

Deep grief

Poured out

Anger

Sadness

Stung my cheeks

Just like I had so desperately wanted to be held

I was holding so many around me

Letting go

Gave me permission

To allow them 

To have their experience

And for me to have mine

A wave of sweet relief

Followed by fear and of the unknown

A grown woman

A child

In the foreign territory of completely collapsing into another

This is my experience of therapy ... what is yours?

(Based at her practice in the bayside suburb of St Kilda East - Melbourne Australia, Sarah Sacks is an experienced counsellor, trained as a whole-body focussing oriented therapist. )
