WS, don't worry about how many times something's been said. Things need to be said over and over, in different circumstances, different tones of voice, with somewhat different echoes, and resonances, and leading to different moments of understanding.
It takes hundreds, sometimes thousands of times to accumulate the depth and force of all the things that have to led to what you're feeling now. It takes at least as many times, and a lot of work and suffering and struggle to come to another, better place.
Don't beat yourself up because you keep repeating these things. You have to-- it's the only way. Even if we get so down on ourselves for not being beyond where we are, for being stuck in the same old feelings-- it's something we can't help.
That how we're created, and that's what we have to work with- our own patterns and rhythms of feelings and thinking--
It just takes many repetitions and workings-through-- and each may be just a little different in ways that we don't know-- or see--
I think you should reach out to Ginny. I hope she can answer-- or to whomever you can-- and just keep on, as you are. I wish you knew how well you're doing, and how hard you're working-- and if it isn't leading to anything that feels better right now.
