I like Pema Chodron's writing. It's all very comforting and compassionate.
I try diving into the emotional pain sometimes. One time it seemed I got to the bottom of something, saw the childhood roots of it, and got some release. But that didn't happen again. Usually, diving into it is just a lesson in endurance. I think my T would rather have me trying to identify the inner critic's voice in there and challenge it.
