It is a total commitment. Most people are weekend workshop warriors, then come home after expecting a miraculous quick fix, and jump back into the old groove, feeling frustrated and wondering why they are feeling the same as before.
One must either empty the vessel and then refill it to customize the "story" as to how they want to project this reality, or to chip away at it knowing that this is the longer path.
Most people want things that do not fit with the circuitry of their present structure. This is a bit like expecting a bull to sit down and drink tea with you.
The key thing that will stop the path to freedom in its tracks is resistance and it has many faces.
