So.

I talked with my t about this at our last session and told him that I didn’t understand the concept of it.

His thoughts were that you lean into it and in essence, accept it and embrace it. At that point, you can separate yourself from it and “look” at it. From that vantage point you can walk yourself out of it.

Now that might not be exactly what he said but it’s what I got from it.

Not meet it head on, like a bully, but accept it and welcome it and rescue it.

I kind of saw it as seeing myself caught in a current in a river, and another part of me being on the bank, throwing a life line to the part of me caught in the current.

I don’t know if that makes sense or not or if it’s something that I can aspire to do, but it sounds inviting!
