I was reading a book today, and a certain quote stuck out to me. It said:

"What will never change is the will to change and the fear of change. It is the will to change that motivates us to seek help. It is the fear of change that motivates use to resist the very help we seek."

I thought of that quote in relation to therapy, and it made a lot of sense to me. I feel like, for me at least, there is a constant battle between these two selves. I constantly sway back and forth between wanting to accept help and change, and wanting to keep the familiarity in myself. This is why therapy is such a battle for me...I'm constantly being tugged between these two parts, and when one part takes over, the other side has no chance of even peeking its head out. However, I believe these two sides coexist for good reason, even though they can cause much stress and anxiety.

Does anyone else have anything to add, or does anyone feel the same way?
