How hard can this be?

I see Lee's point about how non linear and unpredictable change is. It almost makes me feel like how do people change at all? I thought it will become clearer by the end of this class - but it just opened up pandoras box for me as to what really entails change. We expect our clients to do well in the midst of their already dramatic lives. When we ourselves are dealing with so much, it is hard to stay focused on the issue of change. Personally, it is quiet easy when we cave in to all the other demands and the first thing we chose to do it cut this out of the way. It's like when governments cut funds, they usually cut education or mental health investments to make up for losses. We prohibit our capacity to learn and keep ourselves sane by giving up on working out or exercising.
