We must also be the change we want to see in ourselves, although that is not so easy, at times. But it is possible. I am currently working on my own change...<BR/><BR/>PS- to answer your question re: nose piercing-- I won't kid you, it HURT-- HOWEVER, it was also over in about 2 seconds and I've since forgotten the pain; AND I'm oh-so-happy I went through with it.

As a therapist, I'm always working with people on changing their stories...and one thing I like to ask people is if their life/story was a movie, who would they choose to direct it?

The same story can be told in so many different lights.deborahoakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885597618292635710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11449606.post-69861784765561736522007-06-13T15:06:00.000-04:002007-06-13T15:06:00.000-04:00Working with oneself in this manner can be a life ...Working with oneself in this manner can be a life long process - and indeed in many ways it <I>should</I> be.<BR/><BR/>So you are saying that - eventually - you have to <I>become</I> the change you want?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
