It seems harder and harder to connect with other special needs moms in real life but easier and easier to connect online.

    What I Talk about with My Therapist

    This week I (Sandra) had an appointment with my therapist. It was the first appointment I've had since November, so we had a lot to talk about. I thought it would be helpful to share the kinds of things I talk to her about to help take a little of the mystery out of it if you've been thinking about whether visiting a therapist would be helpful for you.
