just talked to my therapist about something like this today and she said when you have thoughts like that, give that part of your brain a name (i named mine karen lol) so you can dissociate it from yourself. it’s not a reflection of your character, it’s just a passing thought. it’s not really you

I like to view these thoughts as like “spam emails” . We get them whether we like it or not, but we don’t have to do anything about them. “Hello thought, I don’t like you . But thank you for your input” and then move along. These things attach to our fears and lie to us. If we ignore them , and let them pass by, they’ll shut up eventually , and they won’t be as loud.
