You’ve built a life that makes sense, but does it still make sense for you? (opens the original)

“I know why I wanted this then. I’m less sure why I want it now.”I had been working with Emma for a few weeks, we were on our second session and exploring what had changed that made her feel she would benefit from some outside help. What struck me most was the question not only made complete sense, but also how common that feeling seemed to be with the people I work with.You see, a life pretty much always makes sense when we look backwards: the opportunities we took, the curve balls we navigated
