I was in a tunnel when I met Dan. Not only was the tunnel dark, but I didn’t realize how far into it I had travelled. With kindness, nonjudgmental empathy, and (much needed) humor, Dan drew me out. He has challenged me to ask myself hard questions. He has helped me understand that it’s alright to not answer those questions right away. In essence, he has helped me to help myself. The work isn’t easy, but it is vital. I am fortunate to have connected with Dan; I anticipate that he will be a continued resource for me along my journey.
