ROFL!!! Now that's a very good way indeed of looking at it .

But THIS for the empty chair. One of my early Ts (psychodrama) said that I had a very limited role repertoire because I just couldn't do the reversing roles thing with the empty chair. Yeah a limited repertoire of roles of just one! That was thirty years ago and I still can't do the empty chair thing. I expect though that as soon as I can trust my T things like that will become possible for me. It's all to do with fear...

Yes you're right of course Fooze (being the wise soul that you are ) there was someone, in fact many someones in the past who gave me a headful of anti-me to contend with - it's no longer them I need to convince though, it's me . I've done a really good job of carrying on the work they started. I'm sure even they would be appalled at the level of self criticism that goes on in my head... well hmmmm on thinking about it, maybe not...

Besides, sometimes it's nice to let go having to fight all this negative stuff and just wallow in it, the relief of knowing hey this IS what I believe and think and right now I don't care how whiney or self pitying or defeatist it sounds, it's good to relax into it sometimes. I do get really tired of having to fight myself all the time .

Thanks for posting ((((( Fooze )))))
