I feel like this comment needs to get as much exposure as possible…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a vague impression<\/strong> that “finding\/returning to myself” is an accurate description of what needs to happen. Unfortunately, an accurate description of where I need to end up doesn’t teach me how to get there<\/em>. Having a high resolution image of the Mona Lisa doesn’t help learning how to create a good painting<\/em>. Likewise, a detailed lesson in the best way to do a single brush stroke also isn’t sufficient. It’s 100% accurate to say that what l need to do is make another million more brush strokes strokes with that same level of care. It’s the truth. but it’s not sufficient<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some very obvious things that aren’t right about my life, but they’re effects<\/em>, not causes<\/em>. I’ve gotten tons<\/em> of advice for how to make a symptom<\/em> less painful… and even a few suggestions of things that have helped other people treat their<\/em> underlying causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to be crystal clear about something: if I don’t understand why<\/em> something should work for me<\/em>, then there’s a really good chance it won’t<\/em>. That’s why I’m not a fan of “trying random things”. Experience in my life<\/em> has taught me that doesn’t work<\/em>. I need more than a “walk that way and see if it works” suggestion. I need someone to be able to say, “I recognize what you’re going through, and here’s a path that I’ve seen<\/em> others in your situation successfully use to work through it.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not even convinced I’ve found anyone who recognizes<\/em> it yet, much less<\/em> has a solid idea of how to work through it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
