Working in the sand

“Every time I’m working in the sand, I think I know what it means, and then I find later that it means something far deeper.” CW, counseling client

Working in the sand
Featured Quote

Consider beginning to honor the resistance, consider getting to know the critic. The critic holds very valuable information. The critic holds our deepest fears; resistance shows us we are on the right track. If we shift our perspective, the critic can be seen as trying to spare us the pain of change, the shame of fear. Our critic discourages us from doing things which are perceived as dangerous.
