I really liked the distinction between encouragement and evidence. Reassurance can disappear so quickly, but it is much harder for the inner critic to argue with a clear record of what has actually happened. I think the harder part is continuing to return to the evidence when the same fear comes back, instead of expecting one good experience to silence it for good.

Dear Sara: you bring such a great point! The continuation is hear, and "arguing" with inner fear is even harder; and yet, I think when we see "the evidence" on paper in front of us - the argument is easer to win...:-)

That is almost a textbook memory consolidation practice. Love it!

Dear Sophie: thank you so much for introducing me to this concept! I am deep diving and learning more about it - and deeply appreciate your name it "the thing" for me!
