Stress Center Peer Support

I finished the program a few months back and going through again, as suggested but my question is I'm completing week 12 "Courage to Change" and in the weeks lesson Lucinda asks what are you getting from this condtion? Whats the payoff? I did not get it the first time around but I think what I get is comfort/distraction? I really see that this condtion is like a bad relationship "we have history together" good or bad its familar the body symptoms are familar the sweaty palms can anyone relate to this? I think I see what she is talking about I have a hard time letting go because it was so familar for so long. I also want to say to the new people I'm so so so much better please don't let this post scare you I have done more in the last 6 months then in the last 6 years, but sometimes even vets have questions LOL Thanks for reading my post and look foward to hearing some insights.Wishing you all peace of mind.

I always thought that once you really get session 12 and see what your payoffs are and what price you are paying for these payoffs, you are really on your way to making some wonderful changes in your life. Working through the resistance that comes up is hard work, but well worth it. Leaving our familiar comfort zone is not easy and unconsciously we may fight it. I kept asking myself "What is the price I am paying for these payoffs, and is it worth it?" My answer was always no. It took me twice of going through the program to really absorb this session, and once I did it made all the difference in the world.
