I’ve been in some mental prisons chronically for the past years, decades.
I’ve discovered simple, not easy, behaviors that can open the doors of my mental prisons.
Here they are:
- Prison: Chronic shame. Key: talking about the shame with others.
- Prison: Chronic regret. Key: doing something DIFFERENT in the present.
- Prison: Chronic judgement. Key: curiosity, actively doing something to learn about the other person
In many ways, these are a work in progress. I hope to write about each of these in detail in the future.
