I wonder what a caterpillar experiences during its time in the cocoon—how does it feel to undergo such a profound change? It’s a living creature, after all, undergoing its own unique process of becoming. I’ve read that most of its structures are completely broken down and then rebuilt, including its heart. I imagine it’s both painful and beautiful. I wonder if they know that the pain is part of the transformation, that the discomfort will lead to something beautiful on the other side.
To me, this is what “doing the work” in therapy feels like. Healing—true healing—can be uncomfortable, exhausting, and emotionally challenging. It’s a journey that you ultimately travel alone, because no one can do the work for you. But while the work may be yours alone, you don’t have to do it in isolation. As your therapist, my role is to guide you, to help create a safe space—your cocoon, if you will—where transformation can unfold. I’m honored to hold that space for you, to witness and support you through this deeply personal metamorphosis.
