I need you to take this great lump of pain which I feel…. I want you to look at it, and feel it, and think about it. Perhaps you can blunt some of its edges, soften it a little with your tears, or throw it up in the air and catch it to show me it is not so heavy as I thought. Perhaps you can take a measure and show me its proper size. Perhaps you could just hold it a little, while I get back on my feet again. But then you should give it back to me because it is my load and my task. You may carry away a little of the poison, but the real task of making it safe can only be done by me.

As an update, please know I’m back in the office seeing people in person. But I still see many people online on my telehealth platform as well. You determine what’s best for you. Many people opt for online with the option to come into the office occasionally or vice versa. Just please let me know if you have any questions.
