Truer words have not been spoken. We do it to ourselves.

Have you ever heard of a woman named Byron Katie? Based on your beliefs description, she'd be someone I'd recommend highly. She created this self-inquiry process called "The Work" which helps deal with our thoughts, our self-torture.

It was INVALUABLE to me when I was dealing with my H's EA. It helped me get clear about what I could and could not control, and it helped me detach. I learned how to stand in my own power without trying to change others.

The process can be found here:

I also highly recommend her books. Mostly they're scripts of dialogues she's had with other people, leading them through The Work. I found it helpful to read how it applied in all sorts of situations.
