Glad you took steps towards figuring out where things sit for you! I think many people have an incorrect view of what therapists do. Their purpose is get the client to think about things that our minds will often try to avoid. Change is difficult to consider and even harder to do. Therefore, we tell ourselves all sorts of things to prevent us from thinking about things that we NEED to think about. Sounds like things went just like they are supposed to and that is a very good start.
Now that you are beginning to understand what needs to eventually happen, you’ve made a conscious decision that the time is not right. Conscious thought is a very powerful thing because it is supported by thought and reason. You are in command of what will happen as opposed to being dragged along by events.
All we can do is the best that we can, but that doesn’t mean that a given decision is inflexible. If conditions change, we evaluate the situation again and make a decision based on its own merits. Just because we made a particular decision in the past doesn’t mean that it must be repeated…
