Could you rephrase this? I'm interested in your point, but the use of 'one' as an ambiguous pronoun (and contrasted in one phrase with 'you') makes this super difficult to parse?


I think they're referring to transferring responsibility of thought/action to an "other" in the mind. I assume they were told to stop that style of habit because you don't usually see healthy things from that ("Not my fault, the voices told me to" or similar). Might be a cause of a condition or a symptom of trauma, etc.

I am not a shrink


Just curious, are you joking, or are you serious?


Serious


I had a long term, off and on again, thoroughly toxic relationship. Many years.

I ended it this year, am totally out, and have never felt happier, lighter, and more confident about my life.


Sorry, I guess there’s a lot of stuff in that I’m thankful for :)
