“Think of the pain in your body as if it’s the barking of an angry dog; don’t start barking along with the dog by groaning about your own pain. It’s always within your power to consider the sensation as belonging to the body and limited to a specific location. You can choose to leave it there rather than becoming fused with it through worry and rumination.”

“The Human part of the brain might very well appreciate this point but the Chimp characteristically doesn’t. Our Chimp needs to be continually reassured. [197] It will vary from person to person but generally there is a need for appreciation and being loved. [198] [199] There is also a need to feel welcomed and wanted. If you feel this way towards any individual it might be worth letting them know. For many, it will be a boost to their self-esteem and a reassurance to their Chimp.”
