I saw my T yesterday and we were talking about my penchant for bucking authority in its various forms. And so then I started to describe how I even rebel against myself - how I command myself to do something I find distasteful though important nonetheless, and I find myself unconsciously refusing to do it. This is not mere procrastination but rather some obsessive power struggle with myself that causes consideable neuroses. My T disagreed and saw this personal struggle as some manifestation of an unresolved authority issue I have in my past (I assume he means with my parents). Can anyone identify with having struggles with oneself and why can't our warring selves agree on what is best for us?
