One of the biggest changes for me in therapy was reaching the point where I could simply own my quirks and errors without the baggage of shame or embarrassment. I think the fact that my therapists were so very matter-of-fact about my "faults" being completely understandable based on my background helped. Their philosophy was simply, "Let's see what we can do to not continue down that same path in the future." (Not direct quote). They very much helped me reach a place where I can now own my errors without going into throws of guilt and self-flagellation. Now I just own my errors, and work toward growth and change. That's the best any of us can do, right?
Thanks for this!
