Although oddly this might result in me being slightly meaner to myself.

uh... that was not the intended side effect questioning, disciplined, challenging, okay, but not meaner!

If it helps, I currently basically never engage in negative self talk. It's not a thing I do. I'm very nice to myself. So "This is how you behave with ultimate power" as a frame made me go "Hmm. Actually, zero might not be the correct number here..."

Heh, the problem of advice: it's only useful to a percentage of population that has the same problem as you do :D "this is how you behave with ultimate power" is only a half of the equation, with the other half: being completely in someone's power (as yet undeveloped take)

Nah it was a useful frame for me, just in a different way than you intended! Don't worry, I'm not about to start beating myself up, but this was an interesting thing to poke at.

...although actually the idea of just scheduling some time to just really lay into myself verbally and emotionally and see how it feels sounds oddly appealing. This is probably a terrible plan.

Yeah, this feels very adjacent, but I don't think it's actually that close to any of the exercises in it? I think she kinda assumes that you're already good at beating yourself up and wants to help you discover that you're into it.
