[spp-tweet tweet=”Realizing your partner is the best thing that ever happened to you is the best way to “affair proof” your marriage.”]

Doing therapy work (done the right way) causes personal growth on the part of the therapist. It’s wonderful to know that our counselors can grow in empathy and caring through the work they do with others.
