Sometimes you have to dig deep...
This stone quarry reminded me that sometimes you have to dig deep to find something valuable. It may look ugly, it may get messy, it may feel uncomfortable or painful.
Digging deep in therapy can be really hard work. It can be tempting to give up sometimes, but in sticking with it, chipping away at one stone after another, it can help us work through the good, the bad and the ugly to find what really matters.
Sometimes, avoiding or covering up the painful and uncomfortable parts of ourselves can actually be more exhausting and distressing than taking the time to dismantle it all in a safe place with someone who will not judge you, is there as your champion and believes in you.
What are your thoughts on this?
