Practical Difficulties, Hiccups, and Bumps on the Road to Change
Howdy there all and sundry, thanks for stopping by today’s episode of Few incarcerated-in-the-UK-in-some-manner edition! From a super soon-not-to-be-so secret location BurningLila and Few take a bit of a pause and reflect on what they’ve been up to for the past six months. Few explains his (therapeutic? Counselling? Paid friendship?) approach to working with Lila on her nominal diagnoses, and more importantly, feelings and inner environment. After that Lila shares some of what has been working, what is still challenging, newfound problems, and reflecting on the nature of her and Few’s multi-modal relationship. Some of the topics discussed include; how openness and willingness to discuss ‘deviant’, painful, shameful, or dark thoughts and emotions helped make the process go faster than it otherwise would have; how accruing new experiences and perspectives can allow one to challenge their cognitions in ways that they couldn’t do with simple reflection alone; how do you cope with your environment and feelings when you let go of behaviours, mechanisms, or patterns of thought that served crucial ego functions previously; the difficulty of changing when you are still emotionally invested in your prior selves and their identities; how experiences with one’s parents can stay close to the surface of one’s emotional inner environment; and how to achieve what might be called ‘realistic optimism’, whatever in the fuck that might actually be, amongst many other things. Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion of this epic clash of titans, the empath overlord v ‘just a bin person’ event of the day that you’re reading this. Hopefully they will both continue to remain not dead until at least the end of the follow up episode.
Addendum
This podcast does not offer legitimate therapeutic advice beyond whatever bullshit Few is fumbling around with, and as such, this podcast is not legally actionable should you decide to take the advice of a self-professed sociopath to have sex with your therapist. Don’t try this at home.
There were indeed a number of things that were left out of this episode, including a promissory note of ‘is it love or is it a heart attack’ and other funny moments along the journey. They will be hopefully included in the next one, because there’s no way that we could manage to fuck it up twice consecutively.
