Special Gratitude   (Rev. 4-30-10)

 

To my DBT Therapist.  You cared enough about me to not give up, nor topple over in my raging storms. 

"You've taken me to the cliff so many times.  I have wanted to jump.  I threatened to push you off the ledge.  You told me I could get better.  I wailed I was going to die from the disorder.  You told me I could control myself more than I thought I could. You nudged me firmly.  I resisted with anger.  We backed away from the edge: it was too threatening.  You led me to the cliff one last time. You pushed me hard.  I was knocked off balance.  I tripped, went over the edge, but then I remembered what you taught me - how to use my wings.  When I finally did...I found I could fly.  My spirit soared."

Thank you for firmly pushing me to actively take part in my own recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder.

 

I made this token of appreciation below for a special DBT-certified therapist.  The one who saved my life. (Click pix to enlarge.)  I know, don't give up my day job.  I know she appreciated it.
