I'm watching "We Bought a Zoo"....and the most prominent line in the movie for me is about having 20 seconds of courage. When you're faced with something difficult, just give yourself 20 seconds of courage - and see where it takes you.
I'd imagine that my work in therapy - group and individual - would progress so much more if I would have 20 seconds of courage more often. Just wanted to share, since it's something that could be useful for others.

I love that film - that message is a good one and that 20 seconds can change a lot, i tried it with T after watching that film and now were making progress but it now needs 50 minutes of courage.

I've been meaning to see that film. Is it out on DVD now? I'll have to look for it. I've heard it is good.

I like that. cos like for hoarders, they say clean for 15 minutes, but 20 seconds would at least get you started on that 15 minutes. momentum!

I love that. T used to ask me sometimes if I could tell him the easiest bit of something really hard, or tell him one little detail, and if I could just get the courage together to do that, sometimes doors would open and I could keep going...and if I couldn't keep going, at least I had the experience of getting out 20 seconds worth and surviving. That sounds like a great "rule" to hang onto. Just 20 seconds.

ok. let's see. a little math. so, for the average 50 minute session, that's 63 moments of 20 seconds of courage, not to mention the time in the waiting room. I use this a lot!
