The Difference Between My Therapist and Me is a License

Fall of 2022 was a turning point. I sarted my self-discovery journey and never looked back.  I was tired of feeling trapped by my own decisions. Always being a push-over. Going over and beyond for everyone else and getting nothing in return. Dating men I don’t like to protect their fragile ego. The list goes …
