I seemed to have hit a snag while working on this project because I was running round in circles and there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Not again! The expertise on Google and YouTube seem to yield 0 results. What was going on? I had to finally get into my feelings to try to understand what was really going on. I knew exactly what was happening. I needed to work on my limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors in order to be able to complete this project.
Should I call a therapist or a hands-on professional to help me figure this out? I had been on this road before and I knew that a therapist would help me untangle this maze. That kind of support came in handy when I wanted to start my blog and podcast sometimes back. I definitely wouldn’t have done it without working with my therapist. Working on the podcast and the blog comes easily to me now but God knows the kind of path that I took to get here. Therapy for me has helped me deal with so many issues like my own insecurities, self-criticism, and projects like this. Sometimes it’s not about the project in question, but about those issues going on mentally and emotionally that deter you from pushing forward.
Last week I eventually gathered the courage to book an appointment with my therapist. Unfortunately, she was on maternity leave and I had (I chose) to work with one of her peers. Do you think I jumped right in? Nope! It took me a few days before I got the courage to make that phone call. I knew how important it was to make this phone call otherwise I would be running in circles. The process of trusting someone with my vulnerabilities is not easy but I know that there are long-term benefits to the therapy process.
I need this project completed! And if for nothing else I just need some sanity for my mental health
