It's like you wrote this post directly to me. When I started therapy I was trying to figure out how to change others. The notion I needed to change anything myself, or about myself, was completely foreign. But maybe that's just the wall I built...I'm an exceptional wall builder...to protect myself. Thank you for this.
I also read your post on highs and lows. "What if calm isn’t just a mood, or a state,
but a skill?" Seriously, what if? I can do a lot with that.
I'm just beginning to write about my therapy experience. Almost a transcript. I had no idea how any of this worked or how I could benefit, and there is no doubt there are a lot of men like me who have no idea what they're missing.
Here's the link if you're interested. And thanks again.
Wow, thank you so much for this, truly. I’m moved by your honesty—and your metaphor of being an “exceptional wall builder” really struck me. I think a lot of people will see themselves in that.
And yes, “what if calm is a skill?”… I’m so glad that line landed with you. I believe deeply that it is.
I’d love to read your writing, thank you for sharing the link. The world needs more voices like yours, especially from those just beginning to put words to the therapy journey. Keep going.
That means so much, Pelle, thank you. 🌟 I really appreciate your words, and also you holding space for us to share. Grateful for the little corner you’ve created. ❤️
