You're welcome!
I understand about superegos.....T tells me I have extremely high standards for myself and judge myself very harsh and have little compassion for myself when I fail the impossibly high standard I set....like having myself in a catch 22, setting myself up to fail. and then being angry and ashamed about the failure and judging myself harder than ever for the failure.....she has talked to me about lowering my expectations, lowering my standards, to a more reasonable, achievable level....and about the need to have more compassion on myself for not always being able to meet my standards.....
Thanks for this!
geez, Sannah
