@charmagh6 And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

In every successful therapy, there is a period when the patient feels more lost than ever. They are relinquishing old ways of being & have not yet consolidated new ways

We are changing life patterns. There is no path from point A to point B that does not pass through the unknown

‘The diagnosis is description, not explanation. Saying anxiety is caused by generalized anxiety disorder makes as much sense as saying anxiety is caused by anxiety.’

I don't know what “self love” means

Developmentally, a healthy sense of self is formed via relationships, as we internalize relational experiences of care and attunement. Real change in self-experience requires a real relationship

“Self love” in a vacuum is narcissism
