Too often, people create their own trap:
“I’ll be able to talk about this when I stop being afraid.”
To the Mind, it all seems logical. First the ability, then the result.
Alas, the order is reversed here. Life is paradoxical, after all.
A psychotherapist might encourage a client:
“That’s okay. Just speak right over the fear.”
Or the anxiety, pain, anger, resentment, even the very impossibility of speaking.
When you hear it for the first time, the suggestion seems absurd.
But if you trust the psychotherapist, you reluctantly try...
...and you’re amazed, probably like an eaglet on its first flight!:
“It’s so hard, but I can do it! I’m flying, though I don’t understand how.”
Doubt, anger, resentment, or fear hasn’t gone anywhere.
The obstacle has lost its power to be an obstacle to you.
You glide over it like a freerider over fresh powder.
In that moment you are free.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
