You know what one of the best things about my job is? It is when I really meet some awesome clients. I love when I actually like my clients as people. It really makes a difference in helping them and wanting to work with them. It makes the day go by so quickly. Today, Jenbug and I had our final session with a client who we’ve really grown to like over the past 6 months. I can’t believe it’s been 6 months since we first started working with him. I told him at the end of the session today, “Hey, I know you said you don’t like counselors or counseling, but I just wanted you to know that what we’ve been doing is counseling.”

He grinned back and said, “I figured.” Heh. We told him he was one of our favorite people to work with, and he said we were one of his favorite people too. Aawwww. Hey, if concrete changes weren’t able to be made, at least we made a difference in how he sees therapy and counseling, and at least he found some people he can trust. Maybe this will be the seed planted for when he’s ready for more.

Some people just touch you. This is why I do what I do. Sometimes it’s not even me helping anyone. Sometimes it’s me realizing how we’re all the same at the end of the day.
