3/20/2023 - How Long Until Spring?

 Working with victims of trauma can be time consuming and/or tedious for client and therapist alike. When clients would ask 'how long until I feel better' (depending on the season) I would ask 'when will it be spring'?  The answer was usually 'I don't know'  or 'sometime' .   It's the first day of spring, 2023, and there is 3 1/2 to 4 feet of snow in my back yard, yet I know that spring will arrive and the grass will be green again, I just can't predict the exact time that will happen.  So it is with healing from trauma of any kind.  It will happen . . . we just can't predict exactly when.
