>> My therapist is win. SHe...actually explains things. The workings behind *why* thoughts are the way they are. For us, mechanics help. A lot.<<
Yay! I'm glad you found a therapist who really helps.
Yes, I find the mechanics useful also. It's hard to fix things if you don't know how they work. You need to know how they work and what goes wrong, in order to decide which repair to use or how to troubleshoot if it doesn't work.
>>It's why we like your articles. "Oh hey, the wetware is messed up? Here's why, here's how to fix it. Oh, that's not working this time? Well then try this."<<
I'm happy to help.
>> But....the expectations here are just...unrealistic. I can't. <<
Bummer.
>>And I get this 'Hell no' feeling when I think about going back to Indiana.<<
I agree, at least insofar as going back to your birth family. They might mean well, but they don't see to be doing a great job of helping you fledge successfully. :/
