Wow Sunny. It must have been an amazing session to feel that it was life-changing. I think sometimes I notice my age-old behaviors, but it is so hard to change old habits. Can you share more about this one? Did you do something specific to feel that you'd changed a pattern or is it more that you have the maturity and insight now to just choose a different path?

Yes, I did something specific to change a pattern although it was not even a pattern of behavior I had been terribly aware of or discontented with up until the last few weeks. Part of the experience was discovering this pattern in myself and seeing the chain of repetitions stretching back to childhood. And when the situation reared up again, in therapy, right then and there I changed my behavior. Just like that. It was an incredible experience. It felt great, actually, to do that. I felt really empowered to be able to change a pattern and also like I was reclaiming so much energy that the pattern drains away from me. This came right at the end of a session so we didn't have time to talk about this or process it or anything. Then a week later we did, and that was when I felt so happy with him.
