Therapist : What does your inner voice tell you?
Me : To go traveling ( Giggles)
Therapist : Why are you giggling? Are you feeling embarrassed?
Me : Yes I am. People are doing community service, doing great
things for their families, building brands, inventing stuff, etc and my inner
voice is telling me to go traveling at this age. It just feels a bit frivolous
by comparison.
Therapist : Do you believe that there is something
fundamentally wrong with traveling?
Me: Well , I
believe it is recreational in nature. It is the sport of either the rich or the
really passionate. I feel I am neither.
Therapist : Do
you perceive anything fundamentally flawed in that belief?
Me: Yes I do .
It does not make sense even to my dull mind. I have always told others to
follow their own hearts, and to do what
they believe in.
Therapist : Do you see how you trivialize your own needs and
feelings? Forget others. You do it to yourself. You make fun of your own wants
and desires. You laugh at them , feel embarrassed about them. You carry a
flawed belief about your desires, and your capabilities to achieve them.
Me : Yes, I see
