Preemptive strike: okay, I know we all do therapy differently. Please take that answer off the table.

I see the trick as being directed at the bad introject, that part of us that gets in the way of our own happiness. Perhaps the superego. Why protect it? Ie why do you want to protect it? If that is the part that is telling you to smash yourself, why don't you just smash it instead? And let me say, I DO understand this, because I was having heart attack symptoms before I would let myself off the hook. I had to say, do I want to have a nervous heart attack and DIE, or do I want to live and say, "you can't do this to me anymore. I don't care if you understand or not." I don't know of course what you would "say" to whoever. But IF you were to say something, what would it be...? (Uh-oh - trick question! But serious too)

I'm sorry Lola, I haven't been following this very well, but saying stuff like talking to a realtor on Monday and *appearing* to move at 100 mph sounds like she is trying to get you to do exactly that, beg. Seems like a bluff to me, but I don't know much about your W.

I wish I could tell you what to do about all of it. I just hope you can take care of *you* right now as best as possible .

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
