ROADS TO RECOVERY: DO SOMETHING… ANYTHING…You are the Physician andYou CAN Heal Thyself! Self DialogOne highly recommended method of stopping bad habits is the self-dialog. This written exercise will allow you to explore a lot of the negative thought patterns that compel you to continue picking. First of all decide whether you are more comfortable writing long hand or typing. I personally find I can type a lot faster than handwrite so it helps me stay more in the present thought to type. Plus, it’s a lot more eligible than my handwriting! However I can also appreciate the directness and immediacy that holding a pen has on the subconscious flow of emotion. We all held pencils in our hands long before we learned how to use a word processor, so make your own personal decision.The self-dialog is a stream of conscious conversation with yourself. You begin by writing about your temptation to pick stated as a simple sentence. Then on the next line write your response to this statement, only from the position of your higher loving self. Continue on with a rebuttal to this response as the example below shows. They key is to end up with your higher self winning the discussion. Don't let the picking half of you get the last word in unless it agrees to stop. It is a great way to get to the bottom of why you do what you do, once you begin to understand, then you can do something about it. I have found the self dialog to be tremendously helpful, but only time will tell if it works for you. At the very least it should help you to discover some motivations which may surprise you. For Tammy, she had speculated that her picking had something to do with control, patience, money worries and nervous energy. But the part that surprised her was that self-punishment was not a motive. She learned her self-esteem was not the main issue. Her main issue was fear, specifically fear of being controlled by other people. When you do your self dialog, let your mind wander, write THE FIRST THING that comes into your head. DO NOT EDIT YOUR THOUGHTS. I cannot stress this enough. You may come back with what seems like the silliest or most trivial response and you won’t want to write it down. Do it anyway. It is often what we self judge as unimportant, inconsequential, or plain stupid thoughts that hold the secret clues to our innermost motivations and will eventually help you get to the bottom of what you are trying to discover or uncover about yourself. As they said in the seventies - Let it all hang out, baby!
