Processing

a bad therapy example

I used you as an example today, in therapy with a client.
Instead of how they could fix things I told them what to avoid.
I shared how easy the heart can be torn.
The way words can seep in through cracks we can't see
How to watch for red flags in moments of quiet
And pick out the voice in our head that wasnt ours to begin with
They will learn their worth, and not their bare minimum
Instead when talk is about relationships, healthy and true, I talk about the man who outshines my morning sun
Who picked up pieces that were splintered, and mended them together with love
I tell them there is always hope, but it may not be easy
How to hold on and grow to love themselves
And when that perfect person for them comes it'll be easy
Peaceful
Better than they ever could have imagined
