I do not think that saying “doing therapy & working on your own issues takes bravery” really drives home the point of how difficult & uncomfortable it really can be…I do know that for working on my own issues, as a therapist, I question the process, don’t like the process, at times need breaks & I get that when life is happening we might not also have the energy/emotional capacity left to work on things, but with all that said it still feels worth it on the other side of many issues!?! Best use of money & energy I’ve ever spent (we can waste both on so many on things that we literally get nothing out of). But I don’t like it all the time, it’s not easy, I do not always feel confident in what I’m doing & it takes a lot of learning & practicing. I’m uncomfortable a lot as well. I need to be uncomfortable because the things I’ve been comfortable with have hurt in so many ways & set so many barriers/blocks in my life that keep me from being authentically myself, hurting myself & others, & holding me back from where I want to go.
