That it is never as simple as ten steps, six sessions, and three weeks.
There is no miracle mini-session that can cure the complex web of what has gotten us to our present state of . . .
And that’s what I think depresses me.
The false hope.
How many times can a title draw you in, only to be left wanting more after a superficial few paragraphs.
When nothing exterior can help, when it’s all an inside job.

I am SO targeted. You are better than I at refusing them. I may not subscribe to them, but they still bother me on some level!

I am loved and going to enjoy my life. The end!
