Hi All,

I am looking for tips on how to be honest with myself. I've been working through cognitive behavioral therapy books, where the first step is basically to ID destructive thoughts. I find myself censoring my thoughts before I can even put them in words. Maybe more honestly, something prevents me from writing down the really harmful thoughts - I don't want to admit I'm having them. But, I think the denial is standing in the way of recovery. Any hints on how to overcome the self-filter? or become more self-aware?

Thank you!
Seeking
