It’s a very confusing question …
If you don’t change the automatic habits in your nervous system, then your life will not get any better.
And you are (one would assume) PAYING (and meeting with) this professional to “influence” you.
So why would you want to waste time and money (sabotaging yourself) by fighting this (presumably) trained expert?
We all know the answer of course … it’s because your unconscious mind is so distrusting that it imagines that this busy professional is wanting to try to use you, or take advantage if you in some hurtful way.
And while there are plenty of unqualified therapists out there, the percentage of them who are ACTIVELY and intentionally betraying client trust is quite miniscule. Odds are tiny here …
And by playing those VERY LOW odds, you are much more likely keeping yourself stuck than you are protecting yourself from any real harm.
And status quo (homeostasis preservation) is ACTUALLY what your unconscious wants … it’s designed to maintain it. So actually, you are not sabotaging, you are just under control of an ancient and powerful process that is no longer relevant in this new context. And that is the essence of therapy!!
