I cling to the familiar even if I recognize that letting go of where I am to step to something potentially better is what I need to do. I just can't let go of where I am.
This is true of so many aspects of my life.
I think my therapist colludes with me on this. He thinks I have a positive genius for picking situations and people that suit me and he seems to wish for me to trust whatever led me to any given situation to begin with. He has said that so many things in my life look on first glance to be not very healthy, but as he gets to understand them better he sees how they *fit* me.
While I think that maybe what suits me might change over time, and my fear of letting go of what I admit did at one point suit me and did offer me sometimes unique advantages may be stunting any growth on my part, or any shifting priorities.
