This year has been a year of self-discovery for me. A lot of the things you brought up in counseling have finally clicked. I now understand what it means to be self-validated. During our time together, you mentioned self-validation a couple times. I’ve realized that I didn’t love, value, or respect myself as strongly as I thought I did. Instead, I was searching for those things through a person who didn’t truly love, value, or respect me the way I deserved in return.

Thank you for the role you played on my path to healing! Know that you helped me during my darkest time. Thank you again for everything! You are a difference maker, and I appreciate you.
