In reply to Question, does anybody else have something evil, posted by muffled on February 15, 2006, at 12:24:42
Yes. I called it "It". I wrote two poems about It. I'll send them to you in Babblemail.
Therapy (and this was with my old CBT therapist) helped me to be able to get a handle on It so that I could "talk" about it - well at least I could write poetry about it (and I am NOT a poet). When I could talk about it, it lost a lot of its power. I didn't feel evil like I used to.
I still will feel empty or not good enough, but not as "evil" as I used to. I still think that I do "bad" things, but not as often as I used to.
I think that the process is to bring into your consciousness what the evil is. What is it like? Can you develop metaphors about it? Can you draw it? or sculpt it? Try some ways of expressing yourself that you would normally say "I don't know how to do that". What you need to "say" probably won't come out in nice neat sentances.
I agree with the others - you have no evil in you. But I know what it feels like to feel evil.
