I just had another thought, relating to my computer design engineering career.
We started a project out analyzing the project description & figuring out what is required.....(looking & understanding the pain we have gone through). It is easy for designers to get stuck in the design phase always trying to realize one more aspect of the requirements (always trying to learn one more thing about what happened to us). However a project can not be completed without implementation of the design (apply what we have learned to our lives & the lessons that have come from what has happened....this is when healing starts & we start living again). Of course no project is complete without debug to find what we missed & to correct the mistakes we have programmed. (This is continuing to live life & integrate what we learned & verify or correct the changes we make to adapt the lessons into our current life). No computer program is ever finished & new things come up that need added to the program (we are always adapting & correcting as we learn & experience more things).
I definitely saw how my career tied to my healing process
