While progress is gradual and different for each client signs include increased self-awareness and able to share emotions. They also talk about improvements between sessions.

I have learned that no matter what people go through, there is the ability to heal. The tools have not only been helpful for my clients but also myself.
-
The ability to heal and the privilege to listen to my client's stories for healing.

Yes I have had many but I make sure I am psychologically present for my clients.

climate change, the inability to see from another perspective and lack of boundaries.
