I worked with Jay for around 2 years-weekly, then fortnightly. They held a safe, non-judgemental space for me during a time of my life when I was figuring out a lot of stuff. I really appreciated how flexible they were, and kind, and open to talking about how weird therapy can feel (it's unnerving not knowing what the social scripts are). It was really powerful -someone trusting you to understand your own experience, not taking over and telling you what to do but supporting you and providing insight when helpful. Having that space and time to sort through my experiences and difficulties was so valuable while I built up skills at my pace, in my way, and developed relationships where I could be authentic. I started to feel more present in my own life, to feel more able to actually be me out in the world (instead of masking so much I felt barely anyone knew me). By the time I stopped sessions, I felt like I'd transitioned to a different place- I had rebuilt a lot of trust with myself and that made it possible to access reciprocal relationships of care I had previously felt locked out of. If I ever felt the need for that kind of support again, I would work with them again. Thank you so much.
