"Meeting My Therapist" is a labor of love. Touching on feelings and learning, it is a book aimed at preparing children for therapy. Inspiration is pulled from the likes of many children books when it comes to manifesting feelings, making it easy for children to visualize and understand. This book helps reduce anxiety and stress on the counseling process and prepares children for what might occur while in therapy with their therapist prior to the first session. It is a great asset to go over with your child to quell their fears and concerns.
