Dear eris:

I am glad I am getting you, and when I am not getting you, please let me know what I need to know so to keep understanding you accurately.

I think turning that inner voice (internal critic/ superego) into a bull is creative, it just occurred to me. I like that! And the bull having no voice, therefore, effectively silenced, is part of this effective imagery. You being the matador, the one in control is major. “No actual bulls are harmed in he creation of this visualization” is hilarious, great humor, says I!

It is my experience that being in control is a process. I was hoping for a “happily ever after” existence, a “problem solved” status achieved after enough work, but my process is still ongoing. I still feel anxious and distressed often enough, but I am less reactive to these. I know I am on the right path regardless.
