What I like about my therapist is that she can relate to me on a personal level. I don’t need to explain to her how it is like to experience othering growing up. She does more than simply telling me “it's hard”; she truly cares about my healing. I unlearned many maladaptive thinking behavioral patterns that I have been struggling with for years.
