I'm in love.
This method reminds me of a technique used in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to deal with pain or fear. Exaggerating a thought or giving it a silly voice or character, while staying neutral toward that part of yourself, can be a solid way to manage anxiety.
It’s called cognitive defusion. You notice when you're "fused" with a thought or pattern, and by using techniques like the one you mentioned, you create distance between the thought and your sense of self.
Love this! Thank you for the effort.
Yeah I know but didn't want to assume. Some people have family roots for example. I do work with US colleagues and not all feel the need to move countries for example, which I find very interesting because it sure looks like a shit show to me. I'm not based in the US myself.
Out of interest, since moving continents is no small matter in my opinion; what makes that, and making a third in terms of salary vs the US, a worthwhile trade-off?
It doesn't say anything! Tattoos can't speak, you silly.
