This is a good description. I think your narrative is done when you dont feel stuck anymore? Or whatever your symptom was / is. I used to think stuff like, why dont i have a nice place to live like everyone else? Why didnt i make a good marriage when i was younger like everyone else? Why was i always underemployed? Why did i always seem to self-sabotage? Now i feel like i have answers. I remember telling t at the beginning of our work together that i never had anyone to support me - i didnt mean financially, but i didnt know that what i did mean was attachment. It wasnt anything he pushed on me. It was something i googled for myself.

It wasnt formal for me, but i do always take stock every new year to look back and plan ahead, even if i never do accomplish the goals, i do make SOME headway. There is a big difference between me today and me 2007.
