At least once a month I get a call from someone I have already seen, but who I have not seem for a while. Many people come to see me for six months to two years and that's about all I have to offer. But usually by then they have be transformed into amazingly creative, caring, successful, problem solving individuals, whom everyone wants to know a be around.
Often a new situation arises, or some of the fairy dust wears off and they find a reason to come back for a tune-up. This can happen after one to five years, and often happens again, one to five years later.
But while I was away I got a call from a woman who said that she had been waiting to call me for a while, and she was pretty sure it was me she wanted to see. I had seen her once before for a few sessions and put her life on the right track, but now, she felt the need to see me again.
She left her name, but I didn't recognize it. I called her when I got back, and she explained that she had left her married name, and I would remember her by her maiden name. Also, she is 50 now, and I had last seen her when she was 17, in 1978, and I was working on the other side of the state.
There are a few things she wants to talk about that have happened since then.
Fine, I'm looking forward to it.

I hope things work out well for her.
