267 - Challenging old messages as a way of coping

Chose at least one person in your life you can count on for support in challenging the old negative messages when they arise. This is best done if you can tell them exactly what you need to hear from them to challenge the old message. Ex. I remember one morning in Cleveland needing to call my wife asking her to tell me I wasn't disgusting. I had exposed more of my feelings the previous evening in a training program than I could support for myself. The shame disappeared as she told me the truth.
Peace,
