on some forms of procrastination
ok so it turns out if you want to resolve your procrastination long-term and not just use willpower bandaids, you may have to grieve cosmic amounts of pain just a heads up

it seems to be empirically better to use fictional ideal parents, as per IPF’s recommendation (but maybe need to first properly grieve what the real current family was not able to provide) nitter.gq/corbindreams/status/21…

i also sometimes like to compare it to getting rid of a persistent blister > imagine you’re a tennis player who grips too strongly in an odd way such that you get a terrible blister every time you played tennis, and if you fix your harmful grip ***you’ll feel a lot better***, and it may make someee things a lot easier, but also obviously this would ***not be a miracle change*** to the vast majority of your technique or scores/rating or etc

oh wow, attunement as an important component of ideal attachment figures reminds me of "sufficiently comprehensive prerequisite skill tree is indistinguishable from radical empathy" nitter.gq/corbindreams/status/20…

dan brown was onto something, safety seems so important and misdiagnosing a need for safety seems to create a lot of retraumatization..?

how an engineer I met a few years ago went from avoiding ambitious projects to pulling coworkers into whiteboard sessions on problems he couldn't solve and initiating ridiculous projects others rallied around. he even decided to build his own zip line
