You can't rush it and you can't force it. It does take time and patience and you have to trust (yourself and your therapist) that you will get there. 'Cause you will. You are working hard - that's how you will get there.

And you will probably realize it (the courage) when you least expect to. Just believe in the possibility.

Hang in there, skysblue.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,

in open relaxation and letting go.

Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
