Dave is awesome. Im learning and growing. Thanks Dave.
The first meeting went well. He is very personable and I look forward to future sessions and working to better myself.
He did a good job already, but I have to be prompted into conversations. A lot of the time I will just brush something off that I start to say and stop or I'll be stuck in my head because my mind is racing but all I can say is I don't know and sometimes start to almost cry. I'm not good at opening up.
No he is doing a great job!
