Getting comfortable with change
Changing one’s mind is the whole point of psychotherapy. We all need change and growth, perhaps even on a daily basis.

Counseling can help if you wish to continue your development. Becoming comfortable with change is the only way a person can be truly content.—MR

The economist John Maynard Keynes, charged with inconsistency, famously replied, “When the facts change, I change my mind.” So, he – and we – are happily and confidently in charge of this whole operation. The world may sadly incline to inconsistency, but not us.
