For so long I have carefully thought and analyzed before ever asking, saying or doing; fearing, predicting and controlling the response from those around me. It has kept me from really connecting.
Using my Dr Phil voice, "So how's that been working for you?"
Great quote from here: "Control is overrated." We give ourselves to much credit when it comes to control.

I know where it comes from, but I don't know how to stop. I don't know where to start.
So change it! If you know where it comes from then dispute it. Is it really real? Challenge those negative beliefs. Then try something different and see what works. TEA Thought proceeds Emotion, Emotion proceeds Action. Therefore change your thinking.
Why has the DBing helped you?
Why does Schnarch resonate with you?

You would create a emotional connection that would be more "real" than anything in your M until this point. Love yourself in spite of your faults. Be the best Thinker you can. You can handle it. Cheers
