Leveling Up

You know how when you play a video game and then you level up and you get points to put into a skill, but you don’t know what you want, so you go a few levels banking points. Your enemies get harder so you have to adapt and get really good using just the skills you have. Finally, you spend your points and things seem really easy because you have new skills and the tricks you learned to survive can be integrated with them for a more powerful character...

Anyways, that’s how therapy works. You level up and take all those ways you used to adapt to your old situations and create new ways to engage with the world.
