I cannot answer something that I don't know much about!! I don't understand this forgiveness crap at all. What exactly am I forgiving myself for??

Why is she staying on this topic? Am I really stuck in this phase of unforgiveness with myself?? I need some HELP!! We may end up talking about this for years if I cannot figure this out. I want to move on, but I don't know how!

You may as well put trigonometry in front of me and ask me to solve it. It ain't happenin' because I don't know how to do it! I don't understand it. This is actually hurting my brain! It also makes me really angry. I feel like I am expected to do something that I can't do.

Leave me alone!! That is what I want to tell her. Is that the voice of my inner child? Am I being stubborn and belligerant? No! I am just getting tired of being expected to work on things that I don't understand and I don't know how to do. I feel like a failure when it comes to this assignment. I just can't seem to pass this test!
Have you asked your T for tips or techniques to try to answer this question? I believe that by continually going after a problem by analysis will have us spinning our wheels.

My T is having me do exercises that hope to bypass my analytical brain and you know what- it's working. I've gained some insights by opening up my self-exploration by other means than constantly 'thinking' about them.

Is that what your T wants you to do - just keep 'thinking' about it? Or does has she suggested some other ways to approach the problem?
