As for your second point, I agree with ruh roh that for me, understanding leads to peace. We were in session two weeks ago and I remarked that it amazes me how Sonseearae accepts things so easily without understanding them - and she switch slapped me immediately and quipped, "And it amazes me how it is so hard for Angel to accept things until he understands them!" At which point my therapists tea came out her nose.

My counselor and I were talking about the critic part of me. Piecing it together, I remember him asking me what the critic thought of me feeling stupid. The critic "slapped" me back with "because you are stupid." For some strange reason we both laughed out loud and truly thought it was funny. We both, my counselor and I, agreed that I am NOT stupid.
I guess it was one of those things where you had to be there. It was funny, but maybe it was more truthful and more revealing of the critic.
I do have to say that the critic is not a bad person. It's been on the job overtime for a long time. I'm looking to give it a more rewarding job somehow.
I'd like to teach it that we don't treat people we love with words like that.
Work in progress.
