"I wanted to thank you again, Diane, for all your wisdom, kindness and support. Do you remember
explaining to me how important it is for people to feel like they are seen and that their feelings are also seen
and acknowledged? I feel like this was one of your greatest gifts to me.This summer was a time in my life
where I felt a special need to be seen and you have had the special capacity to make me feel extraordinarily
special and wonderfully normal and ordinary all at the same time." | Laney R, 19-year-old student
