I also, like Tree, cant consistently believe the positives about myself for any real length of time. All of the deep, childhood messages I was given verbally, but I think very much non-verbally and very, very young are living inside of me.

As I said, it is what keeps me stuck and fearful of moving on.
Maybe then there can be some way of putting the untrue messages to rest one by one. Now that you've identified everything and written it down, you can take a look at these thoughts and recognize that they are not the truth. I have no doubt that this will take a lot of work, but you are a very intelligent person and I for one feel you can do this. One day at a time, Blue.
