I love your metaphor (or simile, or whatever it is - English being way too far behind me) of the sculptor and the clay. That's another thing he's really good at. Motivating me to willingly sculpt myself. Because *no one* sculpts this clay!!! Nuh uh! This clay has to be convinced, coaxed, supported, and teased into self molding. (grin) Don't you envy my therapist his job?
> Bubba wants to see me better even more than I want to be better myself. That's what gives me hope that I will one day, finaly be BETTER, FIXED, DONE....
But here we part therapeutic relationships. :) My therapist does *not* want to see me better even more than I want to be better myself. He'd fold his arms and say that that isn't what he would have wished for me but it was my life, and my choices, and I could do with it as I chose. And he'd be completely unperturbed by whatever that may be. Sigh.
