Who Needs Therapy?

For too many years, I thought therapy was for other people.  I could think my way out of problems.   

The thinking solution only half works.  And your partner will be the first to notice when the other half is missing.  They did not just choose a thoughtful and practical partner.  They chose one with whom an emotional bond could form.  This part often retreats when couples get closer (ie. move in, get married, share a family…).  It seems easier to manage a relationship without the messiness of the emotional half.  But this retreating half never goes away.  It is always a part of you.  It is there but it is neglected.  It hurts.  This is who needs therapy.   

Watch the video below entitle “How to Beat the Bully" and consider this:  Sometimes we bully a part of ourselves..  One half dominates the other.  We may decide that emotions are weak and cannot be trusted while thoughts are strong and reliable.  The experience of therapy will help you to discover, your neglected half was a strong trustworthy partner all along.
