If I continue to run my life guided mostly by my childhood limitations, ALL THE THERAPY IN THE WORLD won't make my life better... Therapy by adults, targeting adult attributes, only works on adults... Since I insist on looking at the World through my comfortable and familiar visions I carried forward from my childhood, The results of all that therapy will be like Einstien teaching Quantum Physics to a room full of 5 year olds; I won't 'GET IT'...
I am certain I have a way out... I can change my mind!!! But, but, but, gee Mr. Wizard, to change still seems like I'm loosing something; maybe even myself; who I am... All us kids feel the same way; 'change means loss'... So what good is all these hours of therapy if I am losing myself??? Huh, Mr. Wizard???
(Perhaps as a child in the 50's watching Mr. Wizard on a black and white TV each afternoon has left me distorted?!?!?!?!)
Change doesn't impact me these days since I became certain that me and the guy in the mirror speak with one voice, confidently, consistently... I did have to reckon with a shoddy 'Concept of Self'... Immediately, my life then became less messy... Me and the guy in the mirror became my 'dream team'; my dreams started getting fullfilled, here and there, as appropriate...
