Reading this made me think of the things I am learning (more like unlearning tbh) in the C-DBT fellowship with Paul Holmes at University of Chicago. You ever take one of his classes?
Hah, definitely in a way that I prefer. I think identifying my core premise/sense and seeing how the story I was telling myself about myself was organizing my behavior vs. organizing my behavior by my values/commitments has been helpful and healing. It's "good" in the sense that don't over identify with my thoughts or past as much now, which has given me more headspace to exist in the present. Practicing mindfulness continues to help because I'm noticing/observing thoughts and feelings I have instead of assigning value to them or reacting to them right away. I could talk about this fellowship/the impact it had on me for hours, truly.

I did! I took ACT with him. I’d love to hear more about your experience, I was really interested in his fellowship at the time
In 3 words: I have changed.
Wait in a good way or bad way I can’t tell
