Are there times when I do want to change? Of course. As I become older and more consistent, I have found that my desire to change has become stronger.

You might want to notice that one of those times you do want to change occurred just 15 minutes after one of those times when you don't want to change.
If you keep one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas pedal, don't be too surprised if you don't get anywhere!
Again, if you ask yourself for your inner truth right now about why you (or your inner child) says the things you say (she says) rather than going immediately to what you know you know about yourself, and what you and your psychiatrist have already figured out -- as Margaret Paul suggests, learn rather than protecting -- you might find that there is some surprising new revelation for you.
Isn't new revelation what you're here for? I think so. I think you're ready for a breakthrough. That's why you showed up.
