Counsellor's Love

Therapuetic Relationships!

Counsellor's Love

I folded inward in the warmth of your supportive gaze.

I exploded into a million fragments at your posture,

your eyes, your mouth, your closeness,

and most of all your gentle understanding.

You so quickly reached out to my inner nature

and I immersed myself willingly

in the hot tub of all the possibilities I saw and felt.

The quality of the therapeutic relationship

your quest,

you examined my internal world and

my experiences within my wider family and

the socio-cultural context in which I exist.

You took in the complexities of me,

the whole person, mind, body and spirit,

ingrained within your humanistic integrative approach.

When I rose, my tears gave you purpose

and you and I were drawn to the embrace

and I felt the warm welcome of your full breasts

and the earnest truth of your caring hands

and fell at your feet.

A looking glass into the areas one never really sees in others, well done, good read.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yes and where we rarely look Thomas. Many thanks.

[Leslie Philibert]

this is a senstive, careful look at very difficult kind of relationship, that has, I assume, an
autpbiographical background ; well written, honest poem.

A love that is kind and warm, and true and fulfilling and accepting. What we all crave, I suppose.

Indeed. Thanks 'M'

[jacob erin-cilberto]

if only more people, especially significant others, would take us with all our complexities and accept us...

not be filled with expectations we can't live up to.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Too true Jacob, well said. Many thanks.
