Does Anyone Use Competence As Part Of Their Therapy?

I just wanted to ask you, the work that you were doing where you felt stabilization, did it involve critical thinking?
I ask this because you have the most developed critical thinking I've seen on this site. And it is an area where not only are you competent, but exceptional.
I enjoy your post because you cut to the heart of the matter and offer clarity and direction. No fluff, no bullshit.
That's rare and I think, valuable.

For me though, I'm finding it really hard to make any ground in therapy while I am out of work...I have to use my right brain in my work because my left brain never shuts off, it's relentless..I must be creating something in order to be "still" enough to process...

Music . I have made made Music and lyrics for many years, and I also play in a band. I think Ive been releasing something trough Music. And its always been there even when Ive been without a job, or like now, working with something entirely else than what I wanted after my studies.

Nope! :D Not at all. <rueful> The only work I've ever felt competent in is predominantly physical.

Yeah, me too on the physical, chef, caterer, ran a nursery, landscaping, painter, construction..to name a few. grins
I will get a certificate in Horticultural Therapy after I get my ducks in a row and my youngest graduates (no ht programs in my area) it's how I helped my rehab after accident ...and I'd like to be able to make a living doing something I genuinely like while helping other people..hell ya, get paid for playing in the dirt!

Et
Maybe you might want to look into HT, as a direction..just a thought.

I keep trying to find something I'm competent in. I used to know I was good at certain things, then it all fell apart and my body crapped out, so physical things no longer happen. I need to find something I'm good at, but every teacher I find is just as abusive and critical as the ones I had growing up. I know I'm good at dog training, but no one wants to pay me for it. So basically, finding a competency would be a very much needed boost to any healing I'm doing, but i don't see it happening any time soon.
