Change doesn’t just happen. You need to create a safe space for yourself to think, feel and explore. If you create a good container, growth will follow.
We’re all walking around with cracked containers. We’ve been cracked and warped by dysfunctional relationships, too much self-abuse and self-sabotage, and those nicks and scratches form childhood.
You can create a new container for yourself. You can do it in therapy, but you don’t have to. If you have the courage to do something different, to really look at yourself, to be vulnerable, you can make a new container.
Your new container will promote growth, because it’s sturdy where it needs to be and flexible enough for change.
