I thought about this and how I would compare it to personal growth and development; before I felt stuck and wanted to find a different/better/less stressful way after feeling I couldnt take any more.... so when I finally took it upon myself to change it and stop struggling with it, it made a massive difference. Everyone has something different to teach and a different style of teaching so it can be hard to look at some things optimistically. But since I have done PET there is less shouting, more talking, more calm, less blowups, less frustration, more sharing of feelings, more helping - so that in turn makes me more inclined to want to do more when I realise what a difference it can make having some tools in your kit. Unlike others I didnt have a great deal of family around me and due to work commitments as a business owner, the social life suffers too. I feel like a better parent and its been great for my confidence and patience. Same with personal development. Took me 30 years to get around to do it lol, but now I have done it, I love it, because of the way its enabled me to live and think, and be open to possibilities even in 'bad' situations.

No-one likes being told, but I think its a good thing to be open to people who have something different and positive to teach. Told and taught are two different things. Thats how I approach things anyways
