some things are supposed to be painful or uncomfortable. like studying for a test, learning something new or confronting a personal fear. it hurts to suck at something, not understand a concept or feel that everyone is better than you. it’s hard to suddenly be productive when your old habits made you addicted to immediately gratifying things. it’s scary to do something you’ve been afraid of for most of your life or go somewhere you’ve never been before, whether this means choosing recovery, changing your thoughts or going to a new place. but growing isn’t supposed to be easy. keep going even when it feels uncomfortable because that’s when you know you’re on the right track. it will get easier and the end result will be amazing so don’t be discouraged.

It’s not that you have issues…… it’s that you have a tendency to continue using instincts you picked up in childhood that are no longer useful to you on your journey towards achieving openness and intimacy and reliability in your personal relationships w others. It’s not that you’re defective or difficult or incapable it’s just that what you learned to do to save yourself from the experience of abandonment or rejection or ridicule or failure is not helpful here anymore and you need to start thinking creatively and collaborating on better ways to cope with that instrinsic fear that you are not correct, that you are faking, that you will be found out and left, whatever it is
