“Focusing on what's working and what's changeable in the present can be revolutionary.”
Hi Madeline! Thanks for chatting with me. So, what did you think of this week’s letter and theOh man, I really struggled with a lot of this letter because they seem to hold all the blame for the way their life turned out squarely on their own shoulders. While I think it’s good to hold oneself accountable, I really wanted more details so we could be able to say that this letter writer isn’t solely to blame for how their life has turned out.
I know it’s a Prudie cop-out to be like, “Hey, it sounds like you’re being really hard on yourself and you could use a little outside perspective to feel more content with your life” buuuuuuuuut….Ha, yes! And I think it’s harder for the LW because they’ve preemptively put up roadblocks to alternative interpretations. When you say “everyone would say this is a good idea but it was not a good idea,” it’s hard to offer a new perspective.
