I came to you unsure of what to address, but we figured it out together over a few sessions. We inspected each issue separately rather than the big picture. This helped me identify the main issues. Thanks to our sessions, I gained deeper communication and repositioned myself. It was enlightening to have a dialogue about myself without having to talk to myself about it.
