I worked hard, and still work hard at it, but at least I no longer call myself stupid every time I make a mistake! I would think the doctors at Anderson, as the best in the country, know whereof they speak, and your little doubt popups are simply a mechanism we use to ground ourselves, but it doesn't need serious consideration. I liked your phrase about the stories we tell ourselves. It's a good way to look at it. Some of them are definitely fiction!Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9351429.post-9042988045028584302016-05-17T21:46:30.149-05:002016-05-17T21:46:30.149-05:00Thank you!

But we can certainly convince ourselves. spookyrachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652180845736295060noreply@blogger.com
