I know, I know, but hear me out! Typically I LOATHE affirmations. I often find them trite, obnoxiously positive, and invalidating. AND there are some thoughts and phrases I use in order to cope when I’m experiencing intense emotions. I go over examples of affirmations that I don’t find helpful and juxtapose them with coping thoughts that I DO find helpful.
