So what you are saying is, instead of having an inner dialogue with my good self vs. my bad self ("I'm worthless""no you're not, you're deserving""I'm stupid""no you're not you're developing your growing edge") that I should just let the "I'm worthless" float in and out of my thoughts? Therefore not giving it special attention or being conscious of it, thereby making it a fleeting thought instead of a constant battle?

I love the sound of it! Do you have to be in a certain place in your healing? For instance, my self-esteem was sunk into the bottom of the toilet, but after a few months of therapy, it's starting to rise up. Not very far yet, definitely still in the bowl, but maybe around the level of the hard water stain. Sorry for the gross analogy![emoji9]

Anyway, if you're not prepared to listen and release the thought, could it somehow set you back or be otherwise detrimental? Thanks for any insight.
