And youre asking yourself, is it worth it?
You only go around once.

I am not sure on this. First time, age 20, I was forced to do it (coaches)because I was so depressed. I couldn't speak so stopped.
Age 27, trying to kick a drug habit (severe car accident, physical recovery became more important)
Age, 35--- 1 session only because she was extremely obese and her office was very messy
Age 36---- 4-5 sessions, we didn't connect, I couldn't speak
Age 37--- still going strong
The going never got tough with those first 4 attempts so I don't think that is it.
What do you mean by rocking the boat?. I have set the boundaries. Barely any contact with my mom in two years. I have set and stuck to my boundaries with my sisters as well.
