I have found that one of the best things someone can do for another person is to truly listen and try to understand where another is coming from. My greatest friend and counselor in the world was my dad. I honestly cant tell you if he gave good advice because he so rarely gave any. I received my MA in Psychology at the University of Texas and one of the greatest lessons I have learned is that most people are aware enough to figure out their situation....far better than anyone else could... and all they need is a sounding board. Someone to ask the questions and listen to the answers that they are given. My dad didn't give advice because by the time we were close to the end I had figured out my problems on my own. I hope you know you aren't alone and I am here for you to be your sounding board. The one who listens so you can come to the solutions you crave. Please if I am away, feel free to leave a message and I will try to get back to you as quick as possible!!
