> If there is a way of choosing your thoughts and feelings by radical acceptance or whatever the hoohar is, well then....but really, does anyone feel they do that? Acceptance, yeah, it comes with resignation and tiredness, but I think he means something different. Unless he just thinks you should stop complaining. That's what ECT is good for I guess.
Well, he brought up mistaken constructs I carry around regarding e.g him (i.e. I transfer a lot of feelings towards my father onto him, and so remain too scared to challenge his authority) and used that as an example of my lack of willingness to challenge my thought processes. He also said I'm entertaining some fantasy of a life with no pain, anxiety, struggle, but I think that's a fairly natural reaction to 7 years of torturous, OCD hell. Prior to that, I was a pretty diligent, ambitious adolescent.
