I think you do. Because if you didn't you wouldn't keep trying -- Biofeedback and now EMDR.
I've been asking myself all weekend about happiness. I tried to follow through on a conversation I was suppose to have about something that was making me unhappy. I sort of 1/2 did it but I realized that the awareness of my need made me aware it wasn't being met, which made me unhappy. So my question was (is) would I rather *not* be unhappy (remain unaware) but *not* be happy either. Going along and getting along. I've concluded (sort of) that if I choose to not be unhappy vs. being happy,I don't risk but I lose anyway. The ghost of something's missing keeps hanging around.
I think safe is good, content is better but I think Joy is best. I want my joy back!
