I think part of my problem is the fact I allow outside circumstances to control my life. Perhaps this is what makes holding onto T so important. I allow others to sway me at times. Its not that I listen so much to what is being said, as more to who is saying it and if its someone I percieve to have a "hold" over me then I am constantly finding myself triggered by what they say and when they speak. I've never really understood when something happens and T says it reminds you of being powerless. I use to think, me? powerless? NEVER! I'm a lion! I roar!..I think I see now just how powerless I do feel. I think I need to practise *I* statements a whole lot more. Like saying, no matter what happens today, *I* will survive.
