Tracy truly care and speaks from a place of knowledge insight and feels like she wants me to succeed. She's honest and yet there's this nurture characteristic about her. I try to avoid speaking on a topic she has the ability to bring me to being open and honest as well. I was recently asked if I really needed therapy.
