Please hand over these two desires for a month. The first would be approval? Our need to be complimented, treated in a certain way to satisfy our low self-image. Low self-image limits the scope of our life, avoiding many people or situations because of fear.
-
The second desire I want is control (Judging). Let go and accept the unknown as a friend, today. Control brings a rigidness and narrowing of life. We foolishly think we control much of life with delusional concepts (thoughts).
-
Only two desires, approval and control will change your life if you let them go. We accomplish this by focusing on the breath when thoughts arrive.
-
An emotional thought fades in less than a minute without attention. Less than a minute and thoughts are gone. Dissociation, leaving this moment to think, would be greatly reduced, improving our trauma symptoms.

Oh You have no idea how happy I am to have found this, and I have only read this page so far. I found out almost 4 weeks ago that my boeyrifnd of 5 years has DID (two others). Oh my goodness, does that ever explain everything. The clarity of what has been happening is amazing. The freedom and increased emotional intimacy of him being able to actually talk to me about what’s going on is indescribable. Now the other personalities and I are getting to know each other without them having to pretend (poorly, as I knew things were not the same). Off to read the rest of the blog.
