What’s weird is that even though I was a baby, my mind-body wants so badly to believe that I could have saved myself, could have stopped it. This thought distortion pervades my entire life. No matter what stressful thing happens I want to believe that I could have stopped it if only I had been stronger or smarter. (Is that just normal human nature?)
I think I’m supposed to encourage myself in order to counter this distortion.
Looking for commiseration. Or counter-thoughts but please don’t say, “It’s not your fault.”
It’s kind of funny (not funny) how difficult it is to hear the words, “It’s not your fault.” So hollow and easy to say, but somehow not very helpful? Maybe I’m not in the mindset to hear it. I need something with more teeth, more practical, if possible.
