In reply to So, Babble.... whatcha thinking/feeling?, posted by workinprogress on August 29, 2009, at 13:44:05
Ok... on my mind. (and I'm thinking if someone want to respond to someone's "on my mind" then they should copy it into a new thread... that way we can get a few new ones started... just a thought)
I am working really hard these days to catch the negative self-talk in my head. It often revolves around telling myself that my feelings are bad or wrong. It's a big part of my self-hatred.. which my T and I are working on these days.
It's a struggle, but I've had some recent victories of catching myself. It's hard to admit those things and I got really defensive (to the point that she asked about my defensiveness and I smirked because when she asked I noticed my arms were crossed and my body language was defensive in some other ways).
Anyway, I'm working on seeing shades of gray instead of black and white. Seeing decisions, choices and feelings as just being- not good or bad or right or wrong.. they just are.
That's my latest. Anybody have tips on catching that negative reel in your head?
