I feel like I am poised for real change and I have actual hope that I can heal. I can see a clear light at the end of the tunnel.

Read moreThis is a script that I used in my last therapy session. I created this so that I could finally ask my therapist all the questions that have built up, mostly because of my fear of being vulnerable.
