I reflected on our time doing counseling together and my heart filled with gratitude. I wanted to let you know all the positive changes you made to my life. Through our counseling, I was able to talk to my mom about her communicating conditional love to me as a child. As a result, my relationship with my mom is so much better and I've experienced a great amount of healing. As you asked questions (about a pending job offer), I realized that the position I was going to take was a poor fit and I was taking the job out of obligation. The best thing about it is I know that it is what I want to do. Your suggestions helped me increase intimacy with my wife through better communication.  Since you asked me to always check-in on my heart, I felt more permission to do the things I really love and say no to the things that feel like obligations. Also, our counseling helped me feel more freedom to be myself more with other people. I can tell people what I think and believe even if I believe they don't agree or like. Continually, I am working on being my more authentic self with others. I write all this to say thank you and let you know that you've made an impact on my life.
Thank you, Terry. I am glad I met you and that you counseled and shepherded me to healing.

I want to thank you properly for your work with me. With your help I have been able to not only continue to believe in God's influence in my life but also FEEL it. Since we last met, I have  had several problems come up that I was able to deal with and let go of without being overwhelmed. This is a big change for me. Your reminder about the adversary was right on. May God continue to bless you in your service to Him by helping others.
