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.
This is very true. I love those moments when you say "Ah, ha!" Don't we all? I know...but one thing that I admire about myself is I have always had a desire to learn. Since I was a child, I sought out answers at the library, from teachers, parents to questions that bugged me. This attribute has served me well and I believe it will carry me the distance when it comes to new and future discoveries.
