Thanks, JMJ. I actually remember how it went. Logical Brain was making its case to the impulsive part (who wants to do the trigger thing). Impulsive Brain doesn't play fair and teams up with Physical Agitation. And they are duking it out, as it always goes. IB relents
somewhat, bringing it down a notch
LB persists, reminding IB that that still leaves the "if you do that, you will be considered 100% crazy, and that it would be forever and to absolutely everyone who sees you." IB concedes. Downgrades to writing with marker. LB points out that while this is a big improvement and solves the permanence problem, it's still a giveaway to anyone. They negotiate from extensive to decreasing levels of extent, finally agreeing on bottom of feet as this is
quite unlikely to be seen.
Basically, I talked myself down. LB still thought it was kind of weird and
slightly disturbing, because it was new "crazy" territory, and that's always unsettling.
Awhile after all this, a secondary thing occurred to me about this method. The bottom of the feet is kind of symbolic. They are under you, not over you, and you are, well, trampling them underfoot. Potentially helpful imagery.
