Peeling back the onion is a common phrase in the counseling/therapy world. It is the process of peeling back the layers of your life to get to the core of the issues you are working to resolve. You peel some quickly, others take a while, and there are those times where you need to revisit one of your onions. Meaning, there was more work to do on said subject. In my experiences, there have been times I thought I had an onion peeled only to have something happen and remind me there were a few more layers to peel.
We are all works in progress. That is why I snicker when people say they are content and have no baggage at all. There is one word for that comment, denial! Peeling back the onion is a great life experience. It means you are engaged and seeking answers, so get to peeling my friends.
