It's really nice to see you posting. I was wondering yesterday how you were doing. I was thinking about you because I was thinking about what it would be like to have a female therapist. So I'm really glad to see you here.
I'm sorry to hear you're using a lot. I was afraid that might be the case. I wish we could find other ways of helping you manage the pain.
I'm so sad you're hurting. Sometimes it seems to me as if you don't believe you deserve to hurt less, but you can’t stand the pain and so you use. Maybe I’m wrong.
I want to say to you, “You matter. We care about you. You don’t deserve this much pain.” And I wish you would believe it.
I’d love to hear more about what's going on in your life, if you’re up to sharing.
