About
Change is one of the most difficult things that we do. Whether you're beginning your change or in the middle of change it can feel like you're moving heaven and earth. We act out of old, familiar ways, many of which we took on as children to protect us from the traumas of those times. Giving up those old coping mechanisms is like asking us to put down our shields in the middle of a battle although those circumstances have past long ago. They still feel real at some level so we hold onto those old ways of being even if they create more problems than they protect us from.
