    This is very helpful for me

     by Krati Sharma

    Initially we felt that we were not able to share all our concerns and felt a bit unheard. The therapist was trying to suggest very generic solutions. But later she heard and was able to probably understand better. And was kind. We are both introverts and need more time and patience to open up.
