We all feel alone at times. That sense of isolation can feel heavy, confusing, and sometimes even frightening. But here’s the surprising truth:

They explain.
They go over the story again and again.
And I absolutely get it. Talking has its place. Sometimes a conversation unlocks a reframe, a little insight, or an “aha” moment. But when the issue is deeper, more emotional, or tangled in old unconscious patterns, talking alone rarely shifts anything. In fact, it often keeps you in the loop of the problem.

Maybe the excitement fades. Maybe doubt creeps in. Or maybe we just lose sight of why we started in the first place.
