▲ Here’s the list of “things we’ve realized too late” that Andy raced through at the end of Session 2:
“I had a feeling something wasn’t right – but I ignored it.”
“People I trusted tried to tell me – but I wouldn’t listen.”
“I stayed too long, and I enabled – and now I’m unhealthy.”
“I was greedy .”
“I was lonely .”
“I was jealous of others’ lives / successes / achievements.”
“I should have confronted the person – but I was afraid.”
“It was just lust.”
“I didn’t do my best .”
“I should have left – but I was embarrassed.”
“I told myself I could handle it – but I lied to myself – it was handling me.”
