Getting lost in your circumstances is not a disease! Life is just harder than you ever imagined it would be. You lose your way by doing the same old thing over and over and expecting a different result. You find your way by learning something significantly new that stops the old patterns and opens up free and flexible choices about the possibilities in your life right now.
Something significantly new awaits you.
This therapy is designed to create as much progress as possible in each session. The length of therapy always depends upon what you want to accomplish. The stages of therapy follow this wonderful poem:
There’s A Hole In My Sidewalk (Book) By Portia Nelson
Autobiography In Five Short Chapters (Poem)
Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost . . . I am helpless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Chapter Two
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don’t see it.
I fall in again.
I can’t believe I am in this same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in . . . it’s a habit . . . but,
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.
Chapter Five
I walk down another street.
Something significantly new awaits you.
I hope I have the privilege to work with you soon.
Sincerely,
Don
