But why? The backpeddling I mean.
You're obviously the most experienced among us, and it's not a huge commitment. Once we get on track, if you aren't around someone else can do it. The main problem is figuring out what to do.
I don't imagine it's the same thing as reading Ms. Lott's book and commenting on each chapter, because knowing it intellectually won't help a whole lot.
And along those lines, could you answer a question for me? I have used the mindfulness techniques at times. I particularly like the imagery of watching your feelings flow by like leaves on a stream without acting on them. Just observing them.
But I find that those techniques just end up in more dissociation for me. I become so much the observer that I lose awareness of ownership of the feelings altogether. And I'm not sure that's a good thing at all.
