I wish someone would tell me how to cure that too.
My T is using tough love-- I guess it helps-- although it's kind of disturbing. But I guess there has to be some love first-- and a lot of history-- before you can stomach the toughness when you already hate yourself.
I keep thinking there's got to be a better way-- but I do hope you and I can find our way through it. I've spend my life being unnoticed and screwing up and being second rate myself-- it's really really tough to take a stand against that in oneself.
I think not blaming yourself might lighten it just a bit. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that even that is an important step.
