I ask myself this question most mornings as I stand in the kitchen, making my coffee to bring out to my office. It is part of my process of preparing my Self, my mind, body and soul, for my work. What is therapy? What is this beautiful thing I get to do with people each day?  I am aware that my intentionality as a therapist has a big impact on who I am and how I work, which has a very big impact on how my clients feel in my presence, and whether or not they feel safe with me.
