5/5 a better version of ourselves. This does not & cannot happen on a predetermined production schedule. The relevant question is not, how efficient (i.e., quick & cheap) can we make it. The relevant questions are, how self-aware do we wish to be? How whole do we wish to become?

4/5 In the spaces, in the pauses we don’t otherwise allow to occur, lie choices we did not previously recognize as choices. In those unrecognized spaces lies freedom—freedom from repeating same painful, self-defeating patterns, freedom to do things differently, freedom to become

@JonathanShedler Thinking about ‘The Listening’, but it is a very particular kind of listening. The skill is a ‘Skill of Listening’ to create change and transformation. I think this ‘Listening’ needs to be (if possible) described, stated, studied, and explained, explicitly and scientifically.

1/5 The goal of psychotherapy is to insert spaces for reflection where they have not previously existed and thereby create opportunities to know ourselves more fully, connect with others more deeply, and live life more congruently.
