Tangled Cables

You know that junk drawer that’s filled with tangled cables. Pulling a cable out of it feels like how going through therapy feels. Each cable representing a different issue, intertwined, and tangled up. If you pull on the end hoping to get it out fast it actually ties itself tighter to the others. You have to start on one end and slowly trace where it intersects with another and then untie it and move to the next one. Eventually you untangle it from the other cables / issues and you can use it to connect again

Now that you have them untangled, you can either use an old round toilet paper cylinder and thread each cable line through that or you can rubber band them so that doesn't happen again

I’ll go with the rubber bands, toilet paper is expensive these days

@Reflective good choice haha

This reminds me that when we try to untangle the messes, challenges, and problems in life by ourself, it works much better when we consult with the Lord and ask His help. He can see into our future and knows the best steps to take in order to have a successful life.

Very adept analogy. All you need are the concentration and patience to do the work.

You sound like you’re really responding well. Therapy can be so intimidating but eventually so freeing.@Reflective

I’m excited to see how it will change my life. We figured out the major source of my pain pretty quickly and it seems like I can improve in that area with time and practice

@Reflective 👍 Anything is possible with time and practice. Enjoy the journey, it's a hell of a ride.
