To all of those in therapy,

Those of you who are NOT in therapy are driving me crazy.

*My family of origin, who did more damage than I have space to elucidate.

*My boss, who makes Michael Scott from The Office look like a brilliant people person.

*My former spouse.....

Well, you get the picture. None of these people seem motivated to look at themselves or acknowledge their shortcomings, and yet...here I am in therapy, trying to process this. Yesterday in therapy, I basically wanted to say, I'm here in part because so many people in my life have never done the work of looking WITHIN. And yet, I continue to pay for this process and Why?

I feel really resentful that I'm trying to gain awareness, acceptance, and yet I'm dealing with people who have little interest in what I'm up to! I feel more comfortable with OTHERS who have made this commitment too. People like those on PC. I realize that none of us is perfect here, either, but I do experience this therapy journey as a one-way street. It has alienated me, to a certain extent, from those in my life who haven't ....or won't.

Can anyone else relate?
Thanks for this!
