  Not all heroes wear capes, but they should so you can tell when you are about to be saved.
  
  I have seen over a dozen therapists, psychiatrists, and psychologists since I was 6, been prescribed over 30 different combinations of medication, and always ended back up at square one or regressed even further. In fact, it’s been nothing but frustration and trust issues within me and for my family.
  
  Everyone has tragedy in their life, so I won’t go into detail about mine. PTSD, bi-polar, drug addiction, fear of inferiority, we all face some form of mental health issues. It’s what you do about them and how you face them. Don’t give up, is what I kept telling myself and what my wife and family wished of me.
  
  At the age of 38, after a visit to a mental health ward, a bad combination of prescription drugs and self-medicating, my hero emerged from the shadows. Her humble opinion of her work is why I said, “heroes should wear capes”. Piece by piece, over the course of almost two years, my hero therapist, who I call “Doc”, was able to relate to me on a level no human ever has, and knew how to approach each layer of my mental health as layers were peeled back, week by week. Maybe it’s her experience in Human Resources, or that she can read people as soon as they enter the room, or maybe she actually has magic powers.
  
  It’s not easy peeling the layers back with mental illness and exposing the real problems. In fact, it’s scary as hell. Kathy’s different approach to therapy with real world scenarios and closing the gap with psychiatry jargon and our language, is what sets her apart. At one point in my therapy, she suggested I see a different therapist as part of the process using EMDR. “Black Magic”, is what I thought of it after her explanation and some YouTube videos. Nevertheless, I continued forward with her suggestion as she seemed to have the “magic” already. Turned out to be the jump forward in progress I needed. After 6 sessions of EMDR and my dedication to the process, I was back with Kathy and ready to move forward.
  
  They always say having a support system makes the process easier, and my wife the superstar she is, put up with a lot over the years and even more during the unveiling of my new life. Kathy has become part of my family with how often we all reference her. Mental health issues are never “fixed”, but with continued sessions and progress, I have finally started my life. I turn 40 in a month, and I am finally able to start my life. Thank you for saving my life...
