    Standard Session Customer

    1 week ago

    as for a first session, I'm glad that I finally try the app. I felt heard without judgement on the situation that I'm in right now. Since the incident that shattered my life happened, this is the first time I see the glimpse of understanding on what's truly happening with me. I know I'm not there yet but that glimpse of understanding sets me to have a start.
