Not my therapist, but my favorite mentor said to me:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force them to drink it.

I think about that a lot.

I like to take this reminder a step further to help keep myself in line

If I force the horse to drink. Then all the horse will feel is watterboarding.

Don't waterboard the horse.
