She brought the house down ! Bloody marvellous
My personal counsellor asked me if I wanted feedback today on my “progress”
Of course I said yes
“You are lighter and brighter and I’m so glad” she shared, her eyes twinkling in the firelight of her apartment
I loved the way she described her counselling style
“ I will walk beside you on your journey” she said
I have four more sessions with her, and then she retires
I’m her very last client after fifty one years in harness
How fortunate you've been to have such a wonderfully perceptive counsellor! I'm so glad you & she were paired. Stay safe & well, John dear.
ReplyDeleteShe breaks so many “ rules” and I love her for it
DeleteMany of your blog readers have noticed that too. You ARE lighter (not just physically, but emotionally, too) and brighter. And I'm so glad, too. What a shame she's retiring , although I think you said she's in her 80's, so that's forgiven. I suspect she will remain in your life, though. You hang on to the important ones. xx
ReplyDeleteI feel very different,
DeleteMy physical bloodwork has improved alongside my fatigue and my mood
I'm so glad you found such a wonderful counsellor for yourself and I wish her joy in her retirement.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible and glorious music! How do you find these talented artists, John?
Hugs!
She is my grand mother sometimes and I understand that important dynamic
DeleteSo lucky to have had her as your mentor…..and she to have you as her last student.

She told me she was glad that I was her last client, that meant a great deal
DeleteYou are such a storyteller John
ReplyDeleteThe “twinkling eyes” had me daydreaming of your counsellor as you wanted it to.

DeleteIt will be good to have her keeping an eye on how you go x
ReplyDeleteShe’s been unwell for a couple of months it was my first visit since December
DeleteWhat a wonderful counsellor you have, she nailed you and I am proud to have felt the same vibes as her, you lucky cuss. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteMy supervisor was signposted to me by my tutor at university and she signposted me to Judith my counsellor
DeleteWord off mouth is powerful
Word of
DeleteShe sounds like a wonderful counselor and 51 years is more than enough. You're lucky to have had her. I can imagine she's had a huge impact over the course of her career. I'm sure you learned from her as well and will carry that with you into your career.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I want you to know that you've been an unofficial, anonymous counselor to me for all the years I've been reading your blog. I have mentioned to my irl counselor how much your blog helps me, and now she's reading you, too. This is the place you've needed to find in your life.
ReplyDeleteAfter 51 years, you can trust that the woman knows what she is talking about!!!
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like a gem of a person. With many years in the field, her support and guidance must have been exemplary. I hope you stay in touch.
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely relationship you two had !
ReplyDeleteWell, she's ending on a high note with you.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like the perfect teacher.
ReplyDeleteI think your last meeting with her will be emotional. Maybe she will offer you a pebble to keep from a bowl by her chair x
ReplyDeleteyou're on the up, John! new career, better health. I hope it continues
ReplyDeleteShe sounds just perfect for you, and you will be a perfect last client for her. 😀
ReplyDeleteThat performance was fabulous! Glad you are feeling so good, John! xo
ReplyDeleteJust think, John. You got the sum of her experience and knowledge. And she got a lovely person as her last client.
ReplyDeleteLighter and brighter. Your spirits are soaring just like the voices in the song. You are on your right path and all is going so well for you, I am thrilled to be in on a little part of your life journey.
ReplyDeleteI am also so glad you have had this wonderful woman to lead you to guide you and now on the path to setting you free to be your own best self.
So VERY glad for you!
