Let's see.

Honestly, I have a lot of moments with my personal T where I wonder what I have changed. Progress can feel so intangible - much like actual physical growth. I don't have any marks on the wall to measure against.

But if I really think about it.

I'm honing in an the root causes for my insecurities and anxious behaviors and learning a lot about my family structure and patterns.

I'm developing better ways of recognizing stress, coping, pausing negative cognitive habits and staying healthy.

I've reached out to and connected with my family in a more honest way.

I'm getting better at speaking up for myself, trusting my own perceptions, allowing my own emotions to happen, and recognizing my emotional needs.

I'm barely.. just barely getting better at being nice to myself and not making a bad day worse by beating myself up so much.

I'm giving myself permission to be creative again.... sometimes. This is really my ultimate goal, to develop and sustain a regular creative life.
