Dear Therapist,
I would have never imagined someone who wasn't a friend or knew nothing about me before our sessions could make such an impact on me. When I came to you, I knew exactly what I wanted but I was scared that it was going to be all about what I have been through in my past. To be honest, I dreaded having to talk about things that I didn't want to bring up.
First of all, I want to thank you for making me feel more than a client. I not once felt like you were talking to me just because it was your job. You made me feel intelligent, incredible, and unstoppable. Without you, I would not be where I am right now. The several weeks we spent together changed me. Thank you for telling me I can do it. Thank you for pushing me to strive for excellence. Thank you for for making me excited for change.
You taught me that therapy doesn't make me weird and it's definitely not something to be embarrassed by. Our sessions were filled with laughs and tears and I never felt like I couldn't achieve what I wanted. You watched me fail and succeed many times through my second semester of college. Through your guidance, I learned so much more than I ever thought possible. I was blessed with someone with such a wonderful personality that complimented mine. Your stories helped me feel like I could be just as successful as you are.
I will never forget how insightful you found me to be. Words can not explain how excited I am to come visit you in the future to let you know how well I am doing because of you. You were exactly what I needed in my life for my first year of college.
You taught me that failure isn't failure, but that it is proof that I am trying. You taught me to celebrate my successes and feel confident in everything that i do.
Most importantly, you taught me that I have SO much to offer.
Therapy isn't bad. In fact, because of you, I am continuing with therapy to help me build skills for my career and life. That is such a powerful tool for me. Again, thank you. Thank you for helping me fall in love with my life. You helped me find the sparkle I needed desperately.
You are more than a therapist to me, you are a gift.
An unforgettable gift.
