I totally agree with this!
Honestly, I *did* know that, or I should have. I used to teach workshops for people to learn about domestic violence, and one of the big things we always said was that progress is a spiral, not a straight line, and even though it sometimes seems like we're going backwards, we're really always moving forwards. But that doesn't mean that I understand it for real. Just because I know something in my head, it doesn't mean I actually *know* it.
So it's a real struggle for me, when I feel like I keep on moving backwards. It's a big help to have people in my life who can see the progress from the outside, and assure me it's actually happening!
