This reminds me of my counselor. I'm really goal oriented and always seem to need homework or an assignment to work on for each week after my appointment. He will give one sometimes. Sometimes he will tell me to go with what comes to me.

He's also told me, many times, "The slower you go, the more progress you make." Because I am so goal oriented, it's hard for me to take that in and believe it.

I have found though, the times that I have pushed and let that analytical part of me take over, it causes much distress and there has to be recovery time before I can go further.

I like his approach because it is laid back and he lets me go where I'm lead. I'm thankful for that!
