not false memories, narrated memories. it's an exercise in deciding which lies you are ok with telling yourself. the cost of this is gaining awareness of how most of your memories (particularly childhood memories) are narrated, and therefore not entirely true.
-
weird how many fictional demons require payment in the form of your childhood memories
-
"fictional"
-
What else would demons be made of?
-
imaginal != fictional
-
i didn’t address non-fictional demons because how many of those are paid in memories isn’t weird at all

my main problem with it is that it gives me too much control over the narrative and as a result the therapist doesn't tell me anything i haven't already thought about
-
I'd never thought this though before, but damn, you're exactly right. I sometimes wonder if most people speak as a behavior (i.e. not with deliberate forethought), to the extent that they have very little idea what words are going to come out of their mouths.
-
Yes, roughly, most people apparently speak like this? or so I'm told.
-
if you think before you speak the other bastard gets their joke in first
-
My mom always said "think before you speak", so I learned to think faster. My therapist says that's the root of my neurosis.
-
I can't look at people's faces when I talk. I'm working at 100% capacity just thinking through words as I say them; add in the extra load of monitoring people's reactions and the whole thing falls over.
