“THE BEST THERAPIST.”

“THE BEST THERAPIST.”

The Best Therapist in The World “knows” just what you need:

It might be a haircut or an exceptional “feed,”

Of a fresh roll and soup, we made [t]here at home.

Sometimes, what you really need is a beautiful poem.

Sometimes, what you need is a shoulder to cry on.

Sometimes, you need, you maybe need to be gone,

To a special “safe place” where you can gather your thoughts.

The Best Therapist in The World can maybe give you lots,

Of good ideas, I you’re receptive to such,

But somehow The Best Therapist is simply in touch,

With what you need to relax or unwind,

And it might be shelter,

From a storm or it might be you’re experiencing a welter,

Of confusing life items, and they seem like a mess.

Sure,

The Best Therapist in The World may be making a guess,

But The Best Therapist in The World acts out of love;

It’s the magic ingredient that good therapy’s made of.

So, if we find us a therapist who has lots of compassion,

That is the one to whom we should be dashin’.

Of course, if you can do it and accept IT: (pause) The Best Therapist is you,

If you truly love yourself, and I know that you do.

Your life is not permanent
You are not stuck
You have choices
You are allowed to grow and change
“SELF-CARE”
