Some lovely feedback on a recent short-term piece of work from a hard working female client.

Q1: What, if anything, have you gained/learned over the duration of our work together. And were there any key/standout moments?

I felt that it was very easy to talk to you in a non-judgemental, supportive and safe space. I have gained some skills and understanding around my responses to stress and some very helpful coping strategies.

I have gained assertiveness and feel more confident about being self-ful as opposed to being selfless/selfish. I can recognise that my needs are as important as everyone else's. Also, I recognise that people can't meet my needs if I don't express what they are.

I felt validated and that you were in my corner.

Q2: Was there anything you would have liked more or less of over the duration of our work?

I would like to look into doing some more therapy with you in the future when I am able to financially and also when I am in a head space where I can look deeper into my patterns and my conditioning from my past.

Q3: Would you recommend therapy with me, and if so, why?

Yes absolutely. You were warm, honest, extremely understanding and supportive. You gave me some great tools and worked with me, checking at the end of every session if the sessions were helping. I appreciated this a lot. Thank you.

A personal favourite, and even more so due to overcoming the fear of remembering what to play.

Good supportive challenge from Alex and some deep breath work, I got there. We got there.

You can too.

/ William Burroughs /
"What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and sh*ts quantity."
"William S. Burroughs (born February 5, 1914, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.—died August 2, 1997, Lawrence, Kansas) was an American writer of experimental novels that evoke, in deliberately erratic prose, a nightmarish, sometimes wildly humorous world. His sexual explicitness (he was an avowed and outspoken homosexual) and the frankness with which he dealt with his experiences as a drug addict won him a following among writers of the Beat movement.
Burroughs was the grandson of the inventor of the Burroughs adding machine and grew up in St. Louis in comfortable circumstances, graduating from Harvard University in 1936 and continuing study there in archaeology and ethnology. Having tired of the academic world, he then held a variety of jobs. In 1943 Burroughs moved to New York City, where he became friends with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, two writers who would become principal figures in the Beat movement. Burroughs first took morphine about 1944, and he soon became addicted to he**in. That year Lucien Carr, a member of Burroughs’s social circle, killed a man whom Carr claimed had made sexual advances toward him. Before turning himself in to the police, Carr confessed to Burroughs and Kerouac, who were both arrested as material witnesses. They were later released on bail, and neither man was charged with a crime; Carr was convicted of manslaughter but was later pardoned. In 1945 Burroughs and Kerouac collaborated on a fictionalized retelling of those events entitled And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks. Rejected by publishers at the time, it was not published until 2008." (Britannica)
