I've lived my life with relative success. I'd built a career straight from school, thought I had my goals set, and I had set a path that would get me there. Over time, days passed by and I found myself going through the motions, and I suddenly felt lost. From the outsider perspective, my life was on track on paper, but inside I'd been burying the need inside that I needed to change something to reignite a passion for life again. Days turned to years, and in those years I'd seen various different therapists. The therapy would begin, helpful to have a venue to discuss what I was feeling, to reveal this feeling of discontent, but in the end, no form of therapy gave me the tools to sustain the happiness achieved through those sessions. I wasn't depressed, but I wasn't happy. I became so used to accepting that life as a series of things that I'd have to accept and ignore, I began ignoring the part of me that I could possibly even become the best and happiest version of myself. I walked into the Paradox Process with an open mind, willing to try anything to help fill this void I had been feeling, buried for longer than I event wanted to see. The mindfulness techniques I've learned have made me reassess how I've been approaching what I am capable of, and allowed me to really assess my own life. I realized I'd gotten into the habit, over years, that I had to make concessions because the other option, to believe in myself and the things I can create for myself, seemed hard, and not worth the work. I had spent so much time making excuses for why I couldn't change my life for the better, I blocked myself from the possible, and from my own potential. Paradox Process has allowed me to see what I really want, allowing myself to start over again, and believe that at any time, I can become the best version of myself. As with all therapies, it takes work and dedication, but what is more important to dedicate yourself to, in order to find happiness? read more
