I'm not even close to the vicinity of reaching that goal yet. Not by a long shot.


This could be me! I can talk about most stuff outside of session to friends if I need but it's as if I'm talking about someone else. I can't seem to get through this stupid brick wall I've put around myself. I'm sure it has served it's purpose previously and protected me quite adequately but now I have the opportunity in T to try and break it down I can't do it. I'm so used to it being there I don't even think I can see over the top of the walls. I know I don't trust T completely and I don't even know why. I keep going though so something in me must feel somewhat safe. It is taking such a long time though.
