But, that said, even without parts… I remember reading in Loving Someone With Borderline Personality Disorder that they do actually recommend positive self-talk to go through the whole borderline whirlpool and tranquilize yourself. I was like, what?!, wot?? no idea of parts or whatever at that time, but no way I’m gonna say yaaaay Corax, you diiid iiit! But I did, and I was surprised it was quite lovely. That book certainly didn’t assume that every reader would be a system. But so, even in the case of being just normal… talking to ourselves, or parts, it has its impact. I wouldn’t say it’s the craziest thing far from that.At the end of the day there are many things we do in therapy that might seem crazy but it’s actually far healthier than coping mechanisms our society finds acceptable.Hello to Attic!</blockquote>
