Discussed tonight. Thought it was interesting and made me look deep below the surface.
A two choice dilemma occurs when you want two choices at the same time, but you can only have one choice at a time. It is an I want ___ AND ____ statement - not OR.
For instance, we all want to grow AND we want to avoid the anxiety involved in growing.
Or "I want to have an affair AND I want to be married to you, who desires a monogamous relationship and would leave if I told you about the affair."
Mine is: I want to stay in school, graduate and work as a therapist AND I want to drop out of school so I don't have to confront myself or my past in ways that are uncomfortable and emotionally distressing.
What is YOUR two choice dilemma?
