> And I think I refuse to see that as inherently worse than a tendency to stay and fight. Is a deer bad and a lion good? We all have natural inborn tendencies that are neither good nor bad, though some of them are certainly more prized by society. Fight may be more valued in our society, but that doesn't make it inherently more valuable.I think this was quite a thoughtful post. I feel like you have a real appreciation for the quality of technique even if you don't feel like it's for you. I was sort of kidding in my last post to you about telling her to hit the road. I was being simplistic, but you really hit me with what you said above about the "fight" feeling more valued.
I guess I was just reacting to the "C'mon, don't you get it!!, c'mon, move, move, move!!" quality I kind of feel in mental health a lot. I certainly have nothing against progess, but it feels sorta like that sometimes. I wish I could describe it more eloquently. I just know that I couldn't have gotten to where I am without some serious tender loving care - and it has been some tremendous progress that maybe doesn't translate to a graph or pie chart if you know what I mean.
I don't mean to devalue what T3 does. I'm sure it's quite effective for some. I got my own stuff surrounding this issue in a major way. It's hard to know which way to go. You'll tell us what happens right?
