Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Darwinn]

So Shannon, I was stonewalling hardcore and with the learning approach I’ve developed with MLS i was able to frame it as a chance to learn - and what I came up with was that I couldn’t accept that if I’m not smart then I won’t be good enough for the world and I won’t be acceptable or competent. I also found that I couldn’t accept the possibility that no one will like me, people will try to hurt me, and failure is possible.


It was acceptance (and the experiencing of a deep grief) over these possibilities which seemed to move me forward and open me up to the counter possibilities, allowing me to re engage with the sub. At least I think that’s what happened - is this something intended? I don’t get all the psychological underpinnings of this but could you illucidate what that’s all about please? Does it boil down to what you resist persists or is there something more?

Thank ye muchly
