I received the following message today from a beautiful and brave young lady I worked with 4 years ago. The message was too long to fit into a screen shot, however I feel it is worth sharing (permission given) as it is clearly written from the heart and is testimony to the lasting impact of the therapeutic journey:
"Hi Jane :-)
I hope you are doing well. I'm sorry I have not been in touch for a long while now, I just felt like taking some distance from my whole therapeutic journey. But I talk about it a lot about it with people close to me, and my cousin said something the other day to me that made me laugh. She said 'Its wild, you're the only person I know who has successfully finished therapy'. And I thought, well, I don't know, I would always go back if I felt I needed it or wanted it though. But she is right in a way because so far I haven't felt the need to. I have actually gone through so much personal transformation in the last two years, it feels like another set of therapy, except this one was self therapy.
But it has been possible only because of all the tools you equipped me with, all the little quotes you drilled into me and all the concepts you showed me. I use them all the time in my life. The inner child concept is literally the foundation of my life, Baby **** is very much a permanent fixture in this household. I have also talked about it to many people in my life and it has helped them too. And then other things too, like I will journal through something and at the end be like 'oh this is like Jane used to say, control and helplessness are two sides to the same coin' or 'this is literally Jane's fav theory, the paradox of change'.
So even if we are not in touch, I hope you know I carry everything you taught me close to my heart and it is still, to this day, changing my life in the most magical ways. I am forever grateful I met you and I will never take for granted what you did for me. You are so special and it makes me so happy to know there are so many other people out there whose lives you have transformed in similar ways.
So much love"
I feel so very blessed and humbled by the work I do.. I love my job, I am very very fortunate.
