Too Cute

If you've read my blog, you know that I am an, LPC,  individual, marriage, and family therapist. I feel it is a privilege to have 'work' that I enjoy so much. I work mostly with adolescents and adults who are experiencing grief and loss.  I also enjoy Positive Psychology and am super excited for a course that I will be teaching in January.   At times I work with children as well. Recently, I had a call from a mom who felt that I would be a good fit for her daughter. We scheduled an appointment and she came in. Generally, I give a quick explanation of Cricket in the corner/blindness and then we get down to business. This young lady was very interested in my vision - or lack thereof and said: "So, you can't see me, would it be helpful if I drew you a picture of what I looked like!"  Actually I often ask young clients to draw a picture and share so this worked great :).  She then asked - so do you know what you look like?  I explained that no I didn't see myself in the mirror - she said, well, you are pretty cute for your age :).  That's probably better than the mirror would tell me!
