‘Then, as we came close to the end of the session, she asked me to listen carefully and to listen to what she had to say. This is probably not verbatim, but it boiled down to the fact that I needed to forgive myself for whatever it was that I felt this tremendous guilt about. I heard her. I took it in and in the moment it made sense.’ 

‘Today I have forgiven myself for just being human, for having done irresponsible things with no bad intention towards my child.’
