Hi Dr. Laura:
I am a 47-year-old woman, a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, and I am currently working on my doctorate. I just wanted to share with you how thankful I am for your wisdom. I have listened to you, off and on, for many years.
After I raised my children and divorced, I returned to school at the age of 40 to become a therapist. I had a few professors in school who did not like you, but I always respected your honesty, brilliance, and accuracy. Your show has been my guilty pleasure. I now realize others are jealous of your intellect. I graduated and began my internship a year and a 1/2 ago and realized clients want authenticity and honesty. You have been more of an inspiration than all three supervisors I have combined.
I just wanted to let you know that I have learned so much from you over the years, and now that I am a therapist in private practice, I appreciate and acknowledge your wisdom even more. Thank you for inspiring me and making me a better therapist. You have been a mentor and an inspiration to me. I even now listen to your calls of the day as I get ready for my busy day of clients just to get my juices flowing. I have become even more effective by using my intuition, knowledge, and courage to be effective with my clients, and I wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to do so. As you used to say back in the day.....Go take on the day!!
Tracy
