The Therapist
My therapist is so understanding. What a great mentor is he.
He never gives bad advice a huge help he has been to me!
No, I don’t pay him by the hour; to resolve my issues is his goal.
He listens intently to what I say as long as I keep putting food in his bowl.
His eyes are full of compassion. I finally found a counselor who cares.
Confidentiality is never a problem, my deepest secrets with him I share!
He doesn’t ask for a co-pay. My insurance card he wouldn’t even take.
You might say I pay him “under the table” as I slip him my last piece of steak!
Other counselors should follow his lead and listen a lot more than they talk.
He never makes me lay on a black leather couch. I pour my heart out while we take a walk.
No, he didn’t go to a four-year college. I never have seen his degree.
He has a quality you won’t find in most doctors. HE REALLY CARES ABOUT ME!
So today no matter what you are facing, give your furry counselor a try. My sessions usually end with belly rubs and hugs and my therapist licking tears from my eyes!
