I didn't mean it that negatively really. After all these years of therapy, I've grown to be reasonably good at realizing what is mine and what isn't. Boundaries. I might always struggle with guilt, because responsibility OCD is one of my issues.
And admittedly, some of the things I'd put in there are things I chose to do, not things that were done to me.
It's more that my experiences, good and bad, were the forces that molded and shaped the person I am now. And to my mind they deserve respect, as forces, as shapers, as things that are private and are mine. I don't mind talking about them. I have talked about them. But there's something about this exercise that seems disrespectful to me. Maybe not to others but to me.
You're right. I don't really think in pictures. I do think in images, but not images that could be captured in eggs.
I am going to continue to refuse to do this. I don't really understand why he presses it. He says he's intrigued by the fact that I dislike it so much. But surely he must realize that given my feelings toward it, nothing therapeutic would come of it even if I did agree. If he's intrigued by my refusal, well, I've explained as much as I possibly can.
