Glad everyone is finding it interesting! I think a lot of the reason that I was so able to do so much healing with my T is that he helped me see my problems through a lens of arrested development rather than pathology. That shift helped me see a lot of my behaviors as useful when they developed, but now being maladaptive. Changing a learned behavior somehow seemed much more possible than fixing my "brokeness" or "sickness." I'm not sure this would be true for everyone, but it did work for me.
