Here's a cool quote from a therapy book I'm reading that validates that my confusion is not a bad thing:

"Embrace mystery and confusion. The goal is to turn off the analytic mind and instead embrace direct experience with all its uncertainty, confusion and power. Thus therapeutic tasks and ordeals are designed not to follow logically from the presenting problem but rather to emerge from intuition and a felt sense of what may be useful. [By this] we will increase our tolerance for ambiguity, complexity and confusion - which is much of what life is about."
