Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I can see where this belief about myself came from
• No reframe of this is going to work, because what happened really did happen
• I can argue myself out of the bad belief on paper and still feel it in my gut the second I’m around people
• I’ve been writing down the thoughts that bother me, but I can’t tell which ones are just a bad-day reaction to one situation and which one is the flat, always-true verdict about me that keeps showing up underneath all of them.
• I’m brutal on myself the second I slip up
