In late December 2023, during a therapy session, I mentioned that I was thinking about going back to school. This wasn’t news to my therapist, but this time she encouraged me to go into details.
Even though I had only been seeing her for a couple of months (sometimes twice a week), it felt longer because she’s incredible.
She asked how long it had been since I attended college and how much more time I needed to complete my associate’s degree.
