I don't think it is fair to label a person at all.

No person is negative. We are all neutral. If we are talking negatively, that is just one state we find ourselves in while in pain. We don't look for a negative life. The negative life is just somewhere we find ourselves.

When our snakes become overactive, it is possible our worries are exaggerated. We are intelligent and when we have honesty we have no need to be paranoid. It is the many lies we have been subjected to that leave us uncertain and wondering....

I once had a moment of enlightenment in a therapy session. The T shot it down... "No don't do that" was the response. How dare I voice my thoughts...

That comment made me fearful to try my personal revelation. (I am not suggesting I have a cure, many of us have worked out that a cure is unlikely)

Yesterday, I tried it, I got brave. It was helping yesterday.

I am sending hugs and respect to you dear Fuzzybear and all those who have experienced unhelpful therapy.
