A Glimpse into Healing

To say Kerry is a lifesaver is an understatement. Sometimes we can’t come out of hiding when things get too much, internally laying in a fetal pose seems so inviting. Thankfully when I reached this time, I started to see Kerry for therapy. And it was definitely healing therapy, at my pace. We went back and forwards as I needed, not at her pace. It was a safe space to talk and heal. And a journey of discovery. I am happy to say I have healed so much.
