    She was my only grandmother I met and actually got to know. Earlier this year my grandmother passed away but I was blessed by being able to spend the last few years with her. She always was always caring, positive, and supportive of everything I did.

That one piece of paper is useless, as are most things in life, if the person who has it does not understand how to use it. “Why are you here?” is designed to get you to ask…

    Yalom (2012) describes the “here-and-now” as the therapist’s best friend in therapy.
