Recently I had a session where I talked about feeling a lot of shame and my T asked "who is watching you?" and that was a good question. Later she talked about going about life as best I could without them 'looking over my shoulder.'
And, that's how it feels. Being watched. Even though it happens internally, it's almost always a response to how I think others perceive me: loser, failure, bad decision maker, lazy, lacking the character to will myself out of depression, etc.
So, visualizing them looking over my shoulder, and perhaps making some of their erudite comments (ha), helps me draw a much stronger boundary about where my energy should be going.
