Contradictions
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2012 4:31 pm
Hi,
This is my first post because I am really hung up on this session. I've moved on and am on session 6, but I keep coming back to the positive self-talk because I know that's where I am still hung up.
My question is, in the session there's (what seems to me) a massive contradiction. There is the woman that talks about her heart attack which was caused by her stress. Then, towards the end Lucinda says something, as far as calming yourself down, to say something like 'I'm not having a heart attack. It's anxiety and it's going to go away.' Well, the thing I keep thinking is what if that woman had tried to say that to herself? She was actually having a heart attack!
This is the problem I'm having. As I try to 'talk' myself into doing things, I feel like somewhere deeper down I know what I'm saying to myself isn't true or is only a band-aid over a big problem. I'm not sure how to get past this...
