It was announced yesterday to all of my clients that I am leaving the agency and moving on to my private practice. I thought of this announcement more as a formality as most of the people that received the message have been moved onto other co-workers many months ago. Boy, was I surprised!
My inbox has been exploding since the announcement went public. I am humbly touched by the outpouring of affection and sentiment that has been sent my way. So many people have written to me to discuss the role I played in changing their lives, supporting their dreams and how my use of self has touched them. I truly don't know what to say. I was just being me and doing what I do.
This work has always been important to me. I valued every day and every client I came in contact with. Even the difficult times and dreadful situations were meaningful. I would have stayed longer had the political climate been different, but instead I have been motivated to move to a new and challenging adventure.
As my private practice begins to develop, I know there will be times that I will be at sea and will need to figure out how to work in a new way. However, I trust my instinct and have never been afraid of jumping off a cliff to see how far the bottom is. I will be successful because failure is not an option...and because I care about the clients I see in my therapy room. Their success is my success. Being reminded of that in the past several hours only serves to encourage me to jump more frequently.
