Is it important for you to figure out why you have this ambivalence? I didn’t expect to have it when I started therapy because it was my choice to start therapy, but it has been incredibly strong. For me it may be some guilt about setting time aside for myself and allowing myself to be the center of attention which can feel really self-indulgent. It sounds like that might be at least partly what is happening with you. I’m curious how the ambivalence shows up for you.
