I love to think up bizarre experiments with myself or, when I learn/hear something about myself I don't quite understand, I take it to extremes I'd take this comment by your T and start self reflecting out loud, get a real good conversation going with my insides, the "two" of us talking away :-)

Sometimes if I don't like a defense or symptom I'll use it deliberately like that. When I went to the library to get my T's phone number after being out of contact for nearly 10 years (library had all the surrounding areas' and states' phone books) I found it and was euphoric about it, I'd be able to call her and make an appointment, etc. but then I got a curious feeling, I suddenly wanted to check out books about suicide? I reasoned they were just books, didn't feel suicidal or anything, just had this sudden burning interest I couldn't explain. So, I went along with it and came home from that library trip with 3-4 books about suicide (not totally unusual, one of my degrees is in sociology and Émile Durkheim, the "father of sociology" is known for his 1897 book on the subject).

My T couldn't see me for a few weeks, she was just getting ready to go out of town, so we made an appointment and then all the stuff I'd been holding back for 10 years kind of crashed over my head, not pleasant. I started reading the books to see why I'd been interested in them and learned a great deal about myself.
