Yes, I think you are right about the inner voice that I have listened to for so long. I am definitely having more success in dealing with it now that I have turned it into a bull.

I wonder if part of the effectiveness is the fact that the bull has no voice, so it effectively silenced? I can see him for what he is, a creature just trying to do what it needs to do, but with no power to command me, or tell me how to feel. I am the matador and I am in control.

It’s as though I have at last found a way for it to be alright for me to deal with the absolute bull (see what I did there?) I was told/shown/made to believe as a child!

I am not an fan of cruel sports, so I would like to point out that no actual bulls are harmed in the creation of this visualisation.

And yes I am a private person, but mostly because I rearely encounter anyone who ‘gets it’ the way you do. I find your insights help me to look at my own issues in new ways. This has been a very valuable conversation for me. Thank you.
