Why didn't I know earlier?
How much further would I be if I knew earlier?
Why did I waste so much time?
I can't ever get that time back!
Have you ever felt any of these? Even if you didn't say it out loud, these thoughts run through a LOT of people's minds. It can be hard not to think that time you spent thinking you were straight, or religious, or both was time "wasted".
But what if it was necessary? Or what if wasted time isn't actually all that bad?
This week's Ask a Therapist video is all about the grief of wasted time; the function of the emotion, how we can handle it, and at the end there is even a way to TEST YOUR THOUGHTS to see if they are leading you down a road that is not helpful. WHAT?!?!?! Definitely make sure you check that out.
