  Over the years, from time to time, I found myself grappling with particularly rankling issues that were resistant to satisfactory resolution through personal reflection or mere friendly conversation. At these times I sought out professional practitioners of various forms of “talk therapy” qualified by various levels of interest, education or specialization.
  
  Looking back on it, most of these experiences were a waste of time and money. These relationships generally amounted to me unloading my concerns on well-meaning listeners who would, throughout my personal testimony or at the end it each week, offer up observations or ideas that seemed to them to be of the helpful variety. If results are any indication of efficacy, (though like most people I treasure the opportunity to sit around endlessly talking about myself), I simply never found relief or progress in the issues I was grappling with so had fairly written off pursing “therapy.” My issues, clearly, were of such a unique, profound and existential nature that it was simply for me to figure out. I was “untherapy-able.”
  
  In 2015 I was speaking with a trusted colleague about some vexing matters around my vocation. He recommended that I contact Dr. Ted Dewart, someone he’d been speaking with for many years whom he found to be particularly helpful in sorting out complex life challenges. I contacted Ted for professional coaching.
  
  I must say that when I met Ted I liked him, but found it odd that our first session was almost 3 hours long, and that a good chunk of it was me listening to Ted tell me about himself, his previous musical career, some of his own struggles and triumphs, just the stuff of his own life. But I found him engaging and we just basically got to know one another a little.
  
  After several more sessions, (two hours each though the time galloped by) it became apparent that my “vocational issues” were inseparable from the dynamics of my relatively recent first marriage at the age of 52. Let’s just say that my new wife had approximately the same assessment of “talk therapy” that I harbored (fairly useless) and so initially rebuffed my request for her to go meet Ted. She finally consented after I convinced her that it was only to help Ted understand how screwed up I was. To her, and my, surprise, she liked Ted and consented to go with me to discuss how to make our relationship and life together more workable and enjoyable. Along the way she too spent one-on-one time with Ted and has been able to dig a little deeper into her own version of crazy, and our ability to communicate and navigate one another’s terrain has increased immeasurably.
  
  To make a long story short, we have both grown to love and trust Ted to a degree that would have seemed unthinkable at the beginning. Ted is a gifted practitioner with a deep working knowledge of his field and craft as a clinical psychologist. But more than that, and this matters, we have come to know Ted to be a genuinely good person who is sincerely interested in seeing people’s lives get better.
  
  Our work with Ted helped my wife and I sort our household out emotionally in preparation for welcoming our beautiful daughter’s birth last summer. This alone is worth its weight in gold, and I will always feel a tremendous sense of gratitude for that. We consider Ted to be like a member of our family— even in spite of the fact that he blew off our daughter’s baptism because of some vague “commitment with his brother.” Nevertheless we feel extremely fortunate to know Ted and our work continues. We will keep working at things so that when our baby grows up the reason she’s going over to visit Uncle Ted is to play Scrabble, not to have to unravel what unthinkable, an unthinking freaks her dear old parents were.
