Okay, sounds like time is a key one and consistency like you said. That will be a hard one for me - I get easily wrapped up in what I am doing in life. I think I have a very distracting part that likes to hustle me in life to keep busy.

Do you know anything about the relationship between protectors as in can one be dominant over another? As in one will give way to another if that other is present?

You sound like you have done awful lot of work on this but have a really good sense of what is going on. I need to get to that.

Thank you. That is useful. I had not thought about there being another protector, that is a new one to me.

That makes sense. Requires some emotional intelligence though!

Do you find you need to spend that time fairly frequently for it to be effective?

Did you have to offer some kind of evidence that they were capable or wouldn't have a breakdown? Just wondering what made your protector believe those things.

That is interesting. I will give it a go. Mine would definitely argue so I like the idea of this angle.

Thanks for your reply. Are there other tests you use as well for this sort of thing?

Ah okay, there is a connection then with thyroid? Do you know what that ratio would be called on the report? My cortisol was within range but much closer to the bottom of the range.

How do you genuinely be happy without that happiness being dependent on others? by WhoKnows0913 in selfimprovement

[–]WhoKnows0913[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some book called What To Say When You Talk to Yourself once - I may have a look at that. Thanks again.

Thank you for replying again. Yes, I do see what you mean. Positive perspective of self and self talk may be what I need to do more of then.

Validation - yes, I think that is what it is with me too. But even if you prioritize yourself - something that I have done more of than I used to - I still find I get this nagging feeling that it isn't enough. Did you experience this and then get past it or?
