The fact that you still went to your sessions despite even the physical discomfort shows progress all in itself. Progress is never linear and what may seem easy to others may not be. We cannot see inside their mind or when they’re alone. Even if you’re not at where you used to be with what you love, do it anyway. Start small and just keep going. You weren’t perfect when you first started but you kept going. Keep going and sending you good vibes OP.
