No on likes to put their hands too near the fire
Follow the illogical to find the logical
Therapy is truth, your truth

Dipping toes in water is rarely enough
If thinking is easy then feel; If feeling is easy then think
Deeper the change, deeper the struggle
Be prepared for the loss of the false you that never was you
Find you and then you find where to begin
Just bring yourself to the room
You may want to change but also you dont want to
Find the child and so find you
Nothing changes but you
I am me and only me, you are you and only you
Centre Stage, not left, right, above or below
You say your feelings are wrong, look for why they are right
Leave your diy tools outside the room
The therapist is the tool
You heal you, you do it
Try three times then give up hope ; the only hope left is inside you
Your own understanding is better than being told what to understand
The best way of understanding yourself more is to understand yourself, yourself
What is the most difficult thing in the world to overcome? Answer: Self deceit. Why? 200,000 years of biology & conditioning
