I went into therapy clueless. I had no idea about what it was all about and was not all that convinced that it was worth doing. I wanted to stop hurting, but didn't think of it in terms of change at all.

What has happened is a deep and lasting change. I have become very different in so many ways that I don't feel like the same person. When I realized how powerful this was, I started taking it up as a focus and becoming more active in selecting areas that I wanted to work on. And the commitment to the hard work came after I saw how significant change was possible.
