I know there’s a lot of posts around talking about the most toxic person you know going to to therapy and being validated and called amazing 😅🥲 but listen, we can feel when stories don’t match, even within the one story if you’re doing your job right, it’s very easy to catch contractions, the intent a person may have towards others, etc
and if you’ve been going therapy for a while (with the one therapist) eventually they will use challenging as a means to explore those contradictions, deflections, and sometimes even mean comments (about others & sometimes ourselves).
Accountability is a personal responsibility at the end of the day but a therapist can help you explore with guidance and support if you’re looking to improve in that regard.
Even if therapy isn’t in the cards right now, think about yourself and how you take accountability daily. Think in regards to being a daughter, wife, mother, because any role you have will need you to have a sense accountability to help ensure you’re not hurting anyone.
Journalling about this, or just having a mental check before you go to sleep about your own behaviours, actions, words spoken, thinking about what you were meant to do for your family but didn’t or couldn’t, and remaking that intention can help you improved immensely - sometimes just having that awareness makes us realise ‘oh I need to do that better!’
How do you take accountability in your day?
