what's the core 'script' you're working at overcoming?

[Stellata]

Mine is "Is there a place for me?" This is in the context of "Is there a place for me in the world?" as well as "Is there a place for me here?"

It comes as a result of things that happened to me when I was growing up.

I'm working at feeling the sadness beneath it, as well as the insecurity, and from that to accept myself and what I have to offer.

What's your core 'script'? What helps you with overcoming it?

i would say mine is kind of similar, but not is there a place for me in the world, is there a place for me at home.
Whenever uni ends i get sent home, which is where i am now, i dont feel at home here, i dont have a aplace, everyone is so together and i seem to be the +1.
theres always comments about how im in the way or dont count or whatever. " i could do this if you werent here" sort of things.
its upsetting

i think mine may be ..Not sure if this is correct ..But to feel content and to be able to understand myself and no question who i am . Be okay with my mistakes and learn from them. To try to get some light shun in and remove teh darkness. I am not sure how to but i am coping with support, trying my best . I use books and art to get me thorugh some rough times.

Similar.. like "Do I belong anywhere" and then accepting who I am, and I need to work on overcoming the idea that I'm only worthy of negative attention, not for anything i do well which feels hardest.

'Everyone else is better than me' is mine and has been for a long while now.

[whirlpools]

"little things that go wrong are not the end of the world and won't kill me and i'll be okay".

[Misunderstood.]

That's a really interesting question, i've never been asked that before.
At the moment I think mine is 'Do I have a purpose? What is it?'

[Stellata]

Thanks everyone.

How're you all doing with your work on this?
I'm having a real hard time with mine at the moment.

And, to answer your question, alternate_reality, there're many kinds of therapies that talk about this concept, or use different words to describe the same thing. :)

"what's real?" - i haven't really found a way to overcome it.

[mmmMinty...]

I think mine's something like 'what do I want to do, and why does it feel so different from what I need to do'
It isn't really something I've thought about before...

[Stellata]

waiting_in_the_dark, what feels real? and what does the unreality feel like?

mmmMinty, I can very much relate to that one...a toughie, isn't it?

alternate_reality, I'm glad you've learnt something new. :)

I did a lot of reflection and a kind of mind map last night, it really helped clarify a lot of things, connections and memories and past:present. It's a real relief.
