1. She wants treatment to work just as much as you do.
2. She is not judging you, and needs to hear all of your truth(s) in order to best support you. You can't heal what you won't reveal.
3. She can not and will not fight you for your healing.
What that means is: She will not work harder than you do. However, she will be right there beside you as the two of you navigate your Mental Health journey together.
4. If you don't connect with her, that's okay. Don't be afraid to try someone new, and keep trying until you find the right fit.
Shannon looks forward to working with you!
