New Thoughts

For the May Journaling Challenge, this isn't the exact conversation, as it probably took the whole 50 min with my therapist to get here, but this captures the work we are currently doing.

therapist: what purpose do the negative thoughts have?

me: i don’t know what purpose they have, but they have been there as long as i can remember.

therapist: what if we could replace the self-criticizing thoughts with thoughts of self-affirmation?

me: i wouldn’t even know where to begin, it’s hard to even hear compliments, i have never given myself space to feel them.

therapist: then we start there.
