Hm-m-m-m... well... the Skeezyks isn't sure what you would consider to be super-brutal self talk, Calico_91. His own self talk is plenty brutal enough for him! Mostly revolving around his profound wish to leave life behind. What the Skeezyks tries to do is to "lean into" this monologue, breathe with it, perhaps smile to it, & accept it... with compassion. It is like a string of misshapen little trolls. They may be ugly. But they have no power beyond what I cede them.
