toffeellen, no I don't believe you are doomed to never catch up! (((hugs))) As we age, the developmental stages slow down compared to when we are children and young adults. When you are older, the stages last longer, or the transitions to the new stages come less frequently. So yes, you can definitely catch up.

He was probably blown away with the profundity of your question. Maybe most of his other clients don't ask such good questions and you actually made him think for a change. I hope you can return to this question in your next session and get him to share his thoughts. (Don't let your T off the hook. You are paying him to help you with these questions!)
