Our therapist said that people tended to quit therapy when the “real work” began. The hard stuff.
The only form of therapy that really took a hold for me and mine is Imago. In its most basic form it’s about understanding that when in a relationship (of any kind) one is simply reflecting themselves. We choose the people we choose to help us heal the wounds, because while they most certainly look different to us, the wounds are the same or at least similar. It’s not unlike my Buddhist learnings, but in no way is it a Buddhist thing. It’s just how I saw (see) it. I am you, you are me. A thousand years ago I wanted to make the license plate IRUURI2 but they were expensive (maybe still are) and I sure didn’t have the $ for that!
