I think this actually threw my W for a loop, because I'm sure she'd expected that I wouldn't go (this would've been my approach in the past - not feeling it? just don't go). But I went, and when she started asking me about it, I told her about how nice it was to see all them again. And how I talked "these people" about my life now, and our situation, and how things are changing so quickly, etc etc. I could tell it bothered her with the positivity ringing through my story. The weird thing is, I wasn't even doing it as a "technique", i was just really enthused with the way it went.
betterm,
I like that kind of enthusiasm.
I found that forcing the DB stuff (acting "as if") didn't work for me because my emotions are so transparent (i.e. I'm a terrible actor). Now, I just do the things that make me happy and confident so I don't have to act, everything is authentic.
For example, when I talk about boxes and tape my whole demeanor changes; I become animated and boisterous.
