For me, slow is working. T has gotten impatient with me a couple of times and pushed, but ultimately, she knows that I will get to it when I'm ready. I'm having the odd conundrum that I am feeling better, so I question if I need to keep going, but T assures me that I do, that feeling even better is possible if I work through it and let it go. She said that means at times I will feel worse, but as continued healing occurs, I will feel better and better. That has been true so far.
I like the notion of a controlled burn. Good analogy!
