If you don't go back and see where your patterns came from, you'll play them out subconsciously. People think therapy is about blaming parents. But you can't reach genuine compassion for people until you've looked at their shadows. |
In some ways, it's surpassing my expectations, ... Jim and I are getting along better than we ever did. It's palpable. I've spent the last 30 years stepping forward, and now I know when to step back and give Jim a chance. |
