Thanks for sharing your story RealMe. I am thinking simular stuff about myself too. It was horrible the stuff that happened to us, but if we can find a postive in all "sh*t", I think we will be more at peace with it in a way. I could be wrong though.
My T thinks my past and experiences will make a great T too. I have so much to offer clients, more than lets say a young 20 yr. old, who is still growing up. Not to say that 20yr. old's can't be good T's, they can, but they just have less life experience to draw upon. (especially if they have never been out of the acedemic world.)I went throught hell and back being a stepmother, but I feel that experiece will help me in the future. Other examples, child birth, being a mother, teaching preschool and owning a daycare buisness, getting married. Not all of this stuff was pleasant, but it did give me experience to use to help others. So I do see how you gained strengh from all your stuff, and I can see that it helped you be a better T. Thanks for writing.
