Tree, therapy can help us see what needs to be fixed. And it can give us tools to help us fix those things. And it can teach us how to use those tools. But the act of using a tool the right way at the right time can be a challenge.

Going to therapy is a lot like going to an instructor to learn how to use self-defense. It can take hours and hours of practice and mastering a lot of different skills. But we may only need to apply what we learn ONCE when the need comes up. And at those times, we may freeze and forget all we know.

But that is ok. The more we practice and think about how to use the skills, the better we become at them. Just keep doing things in the NOW.
