"Dr. Colt - Hi, I
just wanted to say thank you for our counseling session last night.
I think you did a great job, and I feel like you can really help me.
I was definitely tense and nervous, as I've never done this before, but I
want you to know that I do feel like I can trust you, and that I think
that I can become very comfortable with you. You were right when you
said that it would be hard, but I know that it won't get better without
going through the hard stuff first. I look forward to our next
session.... Thanks again." -- S.K.

challenges, and how to reconcile the two. I have personally
benefited from his unselfish offers of assistance" -- R.F.
