Leaving TFC 2

The injured duckling image makes me feel – pity. The beliefs under my disapproval of my desire to stay are probably that it shows some kind of weakness. Yet I don’t think that about Maisie and other TFC coaches having coaches. To me that just seems logical: everyone needs support. I think underlying all of this is the idea that I should be ‘fixed’ and then move on. Even though no one has ever actually said this, I feel like there’s an expiry date on my presence in TFC. But no one is telling me to leave (except myself). The message seems to be to stay as long as you want. I hadn’t actually considered the fact that I could just stay as long as TFC exists. Realising that makes me feel more peaceful and content.

I really like it here and I want to stay. I think it can just be that simple.

 

Answer:

 

You can stay as long as you like it here and find the content and resources useful and supportive. I wonder where else this kind of perception of weakness is a part of your belief system about what you use to support yourself and whether you could extend the thoughts you used here to those other areas? Might be something interesting to get curious about. Bring it back in another post when or if you’re interested in exploring that!
