I have been in this process throughout my adulthood. Magical thinking helped me throughout my pre-adolescent and adolescent years. Not at all as an adult. There are other coping mechanisms that I used during those years but did not serve me as an adult. I am learning this is a lifelong process.
It’s absolutely an adventure, isn't it? I’m always encouraged to hear about other people successfully getting to the other side of dropping the old coping mechanisms that don’t work and figuring out the new ones. Gives a girl hope!
