The most important thing I bring into that therapy room isn't all the skills and the knowledge and all the stuff that I spent years learning and all the stuff I still read up on; it is my human presence, the presence of a human with a regulated nervous system sitting there, being in connection with that person when they're processing things that have been so distressing for them. It is magic. It makes me so grateful that I went down this professional path; it's just the best thing in the world.
