I resonate deeply with what you've written here. I admire your courage and am grateful for your generosity in sharing what you have shared here. I have found that affirming to myself the worst thing about myself I could possibly bring myself to acknowledge (i.e. that I am fundamentally selfish) has been powerfully healing. I did not have a clever name of "anti-affirmation" for this maneuver, though. Thank you for providing one! I found great healing in reading a memoir by someone who has struggled mightily with scrupulosity, a moral subvariant of OCD. It's titled _Sin Bravely_ and it's by Maggie Rowe. Please forgive my mentioning it if you already posted about reading it. I am a new subscriber and have not (yet! 🙂) read all your posts.
