Biofeedback guy didn't remember me from Eve this time. Don't know why he bothered taking a history.
He asked about dysfunctional thoughts and picked my "I goofed off all weekend and now I'll have to work night and day to meet my deadline." He wants me to forget what's already happened (no problem) and say "I want to work night and day to meet my deadline." Change one word from "have" to "want".
Yah... That'll work.
That's not a mere attempt at self deception. That's a really poor attempt at self deception. I'd have added in some visualization of my relieved self handing in the completed work product. Smiling bosses. The exciting challenge of stimulating work.
And still it's not very likely to work. As those of you who have tried to will yourself into love will probably understand.
Sigh.
And my galvanic skin conductivity whatever is still over twice of high normal. Higher this time than last time. I could have told him that. He wants me to try to fix that through breathing exercises. Sigh.
I've been doing breathing exercises, to good effect, for eight years now. If breathing exercises were going to do it, it would be fixed by now.
My muscles have very low tension. I mastered those exercises a long time ago too.
I can't decide whether to give it another couple of weeks or throw in the towel now as a total waste of time and money.
