I can sit all day in therapy and do nothing, say nothing, work on nothing, etc., no matter how skilled the therapist is. If I don't commit to doing the work, taking the risks, trusting that other individual in the room, absolutely NOTHING will come of it. I really do have a huge amount of control over what goes on in that room. I have to take on the responsibility for myself and my progress in the first place for anything productive to take place. Once I have done that, it is the therapists job to guide me, listen to me, work with me, and move me along the path to healing. So what's the percentage? I'm thinking 75% is our commitment to do the hard work it takes.
