technique I've been trying

[cosmo79]

Hi everyone,

Something I read on a different thread reminded me that, often, the IC/OC seems to be trying to protect me from harm by imagining the worst. More than that, the Inner Eeyore (as I sometimes think of it) seems to feel its "job" is to anticipate and protect me from potential mistakes, misdeeds and harm. So, I've begun speaking to it reassuringly, saying, "If I make a mistake, and you don't notice, I won't be mad. We're all only human. It's okay. You can rest now." It works...sometimes, at least.

Thanks for reading!
