As I reflect on the initial Behind the Curtain series posted (almost THREE years ago) here are some of my thoughts:
● When a long-term client leaves. It can be a bittersweet moment.
● Therapy is a lot like riding a bike. You are a little wobbling and then, next thing you know, your training wheels are off!
● Upon the discovery of certain deeper issues, some clients realize that they cannot trust themselves.
● Sometimes what feels like progress and going forward can also sidetrack you and you find yourself going completely sideways. Life gets us like that, but therapy helps us process these changes in a healthy way.
● The goal in therapy is not to just help them de-transition. The goal is to help them find the right answers for themselves.
● People still talk about their feelings of transitioning as if it were a drug.
● It can be so frustrating to see a patient not make progress, yet they still keep coming. There must be something there.
