><<< » Dinah » When you are ready to change, you can see yourself watching yourself being happy, joyous and free, even when its unlikely... When I complain about my situation, I grow 'TUNNEL-VISION'... If instead, I pull back and see myself watching myself being unwise, choosing a path other than wisdom, I quickly shift to seeing myself watching myself the last time I was happy, joyous and free, and I plot the strategy back to wisdom... I then take those steps necessary to return to that wise state of being, and voi-lah... Happiness, joyfulness, and freedom eventually reemerge... OhByTheWay, I never have to share the credit with any therapist or P-Doc... I do it all myself, and under my own watchful eye that I see watching me...
You are a pretty sturdy person, » Dinah » ... This isn't hocus-pocus or flimmity-flam... It is, however, ancient wisdom forgotten by toooo many folks for toooo long-a-time now... I sense your strength and wisdom... Sharing your success with any therapist seems to deminish your success somehow, don't ya' think??? Afterall, it is YOUR recovery...
