OFv2

[Shannon]

When I use earbuds while sleeping, I use Phillips SHQ3200 sport earbuds. They wrap around your ear which helps keep them in position. I have a 6ft cable as an extension so I don't roll over in my sleep and jerk my phone off my bedside table. I place this cable under my pillow with some extra slack to make sure I don't get anything in a bind. I've also taught myself to cup my ear when I roll onto my side. This also helps to keep the earbuds in position so the volume remains as consistent as possible. The earbuds and cable are reasonably priced and you can find them on Amazon.

If using earbuds, I would try Hybrid instead of straight Ultrasonic. I know you've heard it before, but the Ultrasonic, by itself, over earbuds is a little bit risky since you can't consciously hear it. Although the Hybrid has Ultrasonic mixed in, you can at least hear it if the volume is too loud.

Reading all the way back to your first post, OFv2 is affecting you. Your trouble falling asleep is evidence of that. I have the same problem. Also, I tend to feel more vulnerable and exposed with these types of programs. E1, E2, and OFv2 have all had the effect on me to varying degrees. Imagine a glass of dirty water that sits for a day or more. The sediment settles to the bottom and sits there while the upper portion of the water is clean and clear. Then one day, you take a spoon and stir it all up. Now, the clean, clear water is dirty and murky. OFv2 is probably stirring the the fears so they can be brought up from the depths of your subconscious for processing and elimination. It can be a little intense at times, especially if you're already a very anxious person. Once the fears and the sources of those fears are handled, all of that will be a thing of the past. Hang in there and keep going.

Not quite.  In your analogy, the dirt and detritus are simply "active" or "passive".  In reality, the fears and causes for those fears not only behave differently, but they are being affected differently than your analogy would suggest.  To wit:

Using Overcoming Fear - properly, at least - is almost certainly going to reduce the amount of fear, and remove causes of fear.  So the program acts like a filter, to return to your analogy.

Further, the act of working to overcome your fears seems to - regardless of what I have done so far to prevent it in v1 and v2 - trigger some part of you to respond with more fear.  This would be the "stirring up".  Not because they need to be brought from the depths, but because interacting with fear is both self triggering and self regenerative in nature.  The parts that generate fear seem to be capable of doing so whenever they are interacted with, and there is so far (as of v2) very little in the way of options for interacting with them without triggering fear.  So far the best I've been able to do with v2 is to prevent the conscious awareness from experiencing that fear as the causes are dealt with.

In v3 I have made strides to improving that situation, but if what you're experiencing is TID, it would seem there is still fear being triggered at some level by the process of dealing with and overcoming the fear.  Remember that TID is the program fading in slowly over time in influence, so certain aspcts may not have enough impact to do their job yet in response to the magnitude of the reaction (fear) being generated.
