My therapist and I call it my "confrontation scripts." Throughout the day and especially when I'm tired, these confrontation scripts run in my head. Usually, they're about made up confrontations that I have with different people. It could be a co-worker, family member, friend, or anyone I encounter during the day. For example: During the day while I'm working a made up confrontation will suddenly appear in my mind. It could be something made up like a co-worker pointing out something I did wrong and me cussing out this co-worker. The script could last a couple seconds to several seconds. I have these thoughts multiple times throughout the day. I've learned these confrontation scripts are usually from my inner child. The inner child is usually showing anger and rage about this confrontation. This made up confrontation has been causing me tension and I believe pain throughout my body and mind. Schubiner's workbook says to recognize when the inner child is talking, accept it, and let go of it. So, I say to myself and my inner child: "this is a confrontation script, it's ok, I understand, relax, calm down, chill, I'm in control, I'll decide how to deal with this, don't repress emotions, don't convert into physical pain." I feel like this is working and I'm on the right track here. It's amazing how many times during the day my mind comes up with these confrontation scripts. No wonder my body was in pain. I was making up stories and causing myself pain. It's amazing how the mind works. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, what do you do to resolve this. I feel like I'm on the right track but, I wanted to see if others had any good ideas too. Thanks. http://tensionmyositissyndrome.blogspot.com/ [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
