It's crazy to believe that the fastest path to insight is explaining our complex internal landscape to a stranger for one hour per week.

The knowledge about emotional programming isn't locked in a therapist's office. It's readily available in books, research, and most importantly - in your lived experience. You can read it. You can understand it. You can see how childhood patterns created your "invisible strings."

As Gabor Maté writes: "The driven person is controlled by forces more powerful than he is... His choices are attached to invisible strings."

Finding those strings doesn't require a weekly appointment. It requires time and motivation. You can do this by yourself at any time and MUCH faster versus having 1-2 therapy sessions per week.

At the same time, I like therapy.

It gives perspective. It adds to your understanding. But I think the first 90% of understanding yourself can be done faster and much more efficiently by yourself.
