tfw your therapist loosens a knot in 2 minutes that you& #39;ve been pinching and prying at for 10 years

I feel like, as a rule, if you find yourself stuck on something for more than 3 months and you can& #39;t seem to get unstuck, what you need isn& #39;t to think smarter or try harder or prioritize it higher. what you need is help

if you& #39;re holding back on getting help because you & #39;know you can do it yourself& #39;, but you never manage to do it yourself - or you only manage it once or twice by white-knuckling it - you might not & #39;know you can do it yourself& #39; so much as not know why you can& #39;t

in general I feel like there aren& #39;t a lot of things that can be brute forced. I like thinking that I could amass a crucial threshold of willpower and just bust through a barrier, but pretty much nothing in my life has actually ceded to that
