Selected highlights from my therapy notes (YTD)

  • When negative self talk happens, ask “What is this trying to protect me from?”
  • Awareness ≠ Control. Knowing about something terrible doesn’t immediately make it less terrible.
  • Find closer milestones when relief feels far away.
  • The goal is not to stop negative thoughts, but to not let negative thoughts stop you.
  • Building new neuropathways is like tramping down a path through snow. It takes repetition over many times.
  • Treat a first draft like a site survey, not like a blueprint.
  • We have to relearn things imperfectly. Not everything can be picked back up as if no time has passed.
  • It is always better to try.
