At the same time, I knew I couldn't do a lot but try to offer some guidance and encouragement, and hope that my work was helpful to you. For a long time, it seemed like my work and advice wasn't really helping, and that also bothered me, but I didn't know what to do.
And now I see you consistently making such amazing progress and almost every time I read your posts it makes me want to cheer you on, because I see you going through the same footsteps I went through that led me to freedom and happiness, and that always makes my day.
You may not be there yet, or all the way, but you are making amazing progress and it makes me feel like my frustrations have been worth it when I see you using the tools I created as part of your journey out of pain.
So I just wanted to let you know that you are doing a great job, and even though I walked that very same path, it makes me feel grateful to be able to use my experience to help someone else with it, even though you are the one doing the really hard work to get there. Even if I'm just watching you, you are helping to make my job wprth the effort and pain. Your journey and journal is also making things better for others in similar shoes by giving them hope.
So thank you, Mat. I appreciate your contribution to our community.
