My Own Worst Enemy?

Sorry you're struggling with this. But change is necessary for healing, so maybe the fact that Shawn wants some time out means you all have done such a good job of creating a safe, trusting environment that some insiders are ready to risk some time out. Our T believes everyone inside has a right to experience life on the outside and not be stuck in the past. I can see that, but it means upsetting the balance of things. Then again, if we were working so well in "balance" we probably wouldn't be in therapy, so again, I'm guessing this is a good sign, a sign of good, hard progress made. That doesn't address your struggles or the problems with allowing the change, I'm aware. I don't have any good suggestions for that, I'm afraid. But you all know your system and will find a way. Hang in there.
