As A Therapist, I Won’t:
Give you advice or tell you what to do
Make you feel inferior, like you don’t have a clue
Wave my magic wand to make the pain disappear
Guarantee that everything will always become clear
Work with you in a judgemental manner
Pretend that I have all the answers
Try and be an expert of your own life
Ever undervalue your times of strife
As A Therapist, I Will:
Work with you to form a relationship of trust
Listen to you, showing you respect is a must
Create a safe place for you to talk
Never presume, in your shoes I have walked
Admit that I don’t know it all
Remind you of your strengths, if you feel like you might fall
Encourage you to see your own self-worth
Comfortably sit with you if you feel times are getting tough on this Earth
