“ThErApiSts”  and can come in many forms.  For some it is a ProFesSioNaL who has spent years in school learning to HeLp others.  For others it is a trusted FriEnD or CoNfiDaNt.  For my husband it is our chocolate lab, WaLtEr.   One of my “therapists” is “RuNniNg.  If you are needing a BoOsT, maybe it isContinue reading “{My Husband’s Therapist}”
