from the amazing Esther Perel, when looking for therapy, answer these questions for yourself first. I starred the one that is very important to contemplate first, before entering a therapeutic relationship.

Why therapy and why now?

What would you like to work on?

What is your desired outcome?

***What are you prepared to do to achieve this goal? ***

What do you expect from your therapist?

What have been your experiences in therapy so far, and what was useful? What was not? What are the lessons you have gleaned?

"nothing in life is perfect, permanent or personal." Ruth King

In this time of uncertainty, it becomes relevant that our sense of "I" and "me" expands to "we"; and this positively aids wellbeing.

thought of a day:

Nietzsche said that there are no facts, only interpretations. My advice to anybody who plays mind games is to ask yourself this,
"Do I want to be right or do I want to be effective?", "What does my inability to be vulnerable say about my attachment to defense mechanisms?", "What would it take for me to stop manipulating people?",
"Am I loveable?"

I find that self-confidence teaches us how to be open with people because we are no longer constantly defending ourselves from potential attack. A hostile person fears the hostility of others.
