Really like your post!
I am going to therapy for a couple years now, and I can say that it is absolutely important what the patient "wants to hear" and wants to - do.
Leaving broken-self hits hard to home, since I am finding it difficult, still, to let go of some parts of me, because I feel like I will be left with no identity, thinking that all the "bad" parts contribute to my character and make them what I am.
I suppose it is true that it is a life-long search and a cycle of never ending changes, but it is important we go from point to point, not stand in place.
Thank you for the good read.
