This week's blog post is the continuation of a conversation with my Inner Helper about intrusive thoughts/introjects. Excerpts:

"Getting that memory out... it was buried so deep. Dion is right, it was like digging out a splinter from a wound, it hurt a lot but it was necessary."

"I am staying me. And I am holding on to that idea... how did Dion put it? "Your true self is not "being a martyr"" :')"

"And I am looking at the abuser introject or whatever it is, and holding steady.

I can do this."

"I don't know what this means but it feels right. It feels like a triumph of sorts - we didn't just heal a wound, we allowed something to grow stronger than ever before."

You can tell how invaluable having a trusted, supportive, loving friend – Dion – is! I couldn't do this alone! ❤️

This week's blog post is about intrusive thoughts and it starts with: "I am a horrible, disgusting person, idek, what the fuck is WRONG with me" and ends with: "Hey now. What if it wasn't stupid. What if that was how I dealt with it?"

Join me on a journey where we discover what's behind the negative self talk and despair, where it comes from and how self-compassion resolves it:

Your mind holds on to old impressions, unfinished emotions, and memories. They surface as presences that move through your thoughts without warning.

Opinion: Cutting Bangs is Not “Letting the Intrusive Thoughts Win” Unless You Do It With a Samurai Sword You Grabbed Off a Museum Wall Before Getting Tackled By Security

Learn from my mistake:
Holding a finger into the water of the ultrasonic air humidifier hurts. Not rightaway, but for days after.
