Please bear with me, this is a good thought. Why CBT doesn't always work ... perhaps it takes the same energy to deal with the problem as it did to create the problem. Hold on here, instruments of therapy may not be enough.. it may be the relationship itself (yes, Irvin) that creates the therapy. So emotional trauma provoking brain changes requires emotion to bring about change again.
The situation brings to mind an analogy. When I was giving birth to my third child, just before the waters broke, I was in the shower and stimulating myself sexually with the shower head (m-hm) and just with a wave of pleasure, bang the water broke and my son was born within minutes. I told a friend and she said it takes the same energy to bring a child into the world, as it did to create him. I remembered, when she said that, the miraculous energy that coursed through my body at the stimulation and the suddeness with which that energy was converted to childbearing pain. And the quickness and ease of his birth thereafter...it all makes a great deal of sense. Follow the pathways, they are there. I like that concept. Mine.
