So....what about the word urgency? Where does it fit on the continuum? Is it like this? 9.You watched an episode of the dog whisperer and you realize that it's just like therapy

Hahahah ok so i have to share this... this was my late night realization-via-migraine; this will look familiar to some, but I still think it is important:
AWARNESS
I just watched Martian Child.... what struck me (you'll see the relevance here in a moment, promise) is the ending. John Cussusk's character said something like "We forget that children are so new here. they really are like little Martians, learning how to be in this world; to adjust, to belong." And I think for a lot of us, it is the same way. Parents are "the blind leading the blind" but so are our T's. It's all estimated guess work based on knowledge. Our feelings and emotions are often totally new to us, we've buried them for so long. T's try everything in the book - and when that doesn’t' work, they try what worked for the other T... and when that STILL doesn't work... they make up stuff and try that. We're confused and hurting, they're befuddled, bumbling around trying desperately to help... and eventually we learn to speak and correct them and thus they learn what helps.
Never ever ever ever EVER never ever give up. Churchill said that... we think... By hinting around in the dark, our T's teach us to speak. By us speaking, we give them the tools to help us.
