Peeks back in...

My thinking is that sometimes one needs this type of environment and safe place so that one can help oneself. This is definitely how it worked for me. Life can be a paradox at times. There was a time during therapy when I may have been considered "needy". In allowing this, embracing it even, I was thus able to do the work within the safety of the therapeutic space. Once I had successfully done that, I was able to let go and walk alone. Sometimes one first must be held before one can let go.

I do think there are different styles and methods that therapists use. It really depends on the client what works best for them.

Sunny, in no way do I think any of this applies to you.
