"For some reason or other I woke up this morning and was thinking about the many hours of time I spent working with you on my eating disorder.
Every now and then I feel like I just need to say thank-you for all the help you gave me over the years. As much pain as I was in at the time, I remember my sessions with you as being a positive part of a very dark time in my life.
As I look through your website it looks like you have been very busy over the years. Congratualtions, and thank-you for continuing to do your important work."
Love, - SC
