i wish i was so able to understand this more because this is the kind of stuff my T is talking some about .but i don't understand it and it just sounds like she is telling me that things are not going to change and i need to let go. i cant believe that.but then she says that is not what she is saying. i truly cant seem to stay engaged enough to just listen and understand . i am freaking out at the simplest things and don't know why .i do this and then loose any hope of understanding or even remembering what she is saying
