I asked my T last week if she has ever really seen transformation in people. I asked because I feel like I'm spinning my wheels and that I haven't been able to move forward.
She said "Yes, I have seen many people be able to make amazing changes - and really become much more authentic to themselves and much happier and freer. Yes, it is quite possible and it is not a linear path unfortunately and the mind likes it to be on a linear path and we think we should be able to make progress that we can measure easily and that we can proceed on the next level and then the next level but unfortunately it's a much more roundabout process and sometimes there's a shift without us knowing that it's shifted."
So, I believe her; especially when I think of the years it has taken to get me to the messed up place I'm in right now. How can I expect radical changes in just a few short months?
