So there’s an upside to being so late in catching up with your blog after all: I can avoid the suspense and skip straight to Part 2! :)

@Andere Jessica – ah, yes. That’s a super interesting question. I can go way way way into the Process Questions too!

For me, in this particular case, the one-sided conversation happened first and then it morphed into a dialogue, which then got more and more crowded.

But it wasn’t clamorous and cacophonous or anything. Everyone kind of went in turn and it was quite peaceful.

But I guess I’ve been consciously hanging out with the parts of myself that talk with other parts of myself for so long that maybe they’ve worked out a system …

Hope that helps a little. My guess is that it’s probably pretty individual.

I know that Hiro Boga does a lovely exercise where she asks all the different aspects of her to exit the center of her heart and wait for her in a chamber. And then when she’s done meditating, she hangs out with them and they have a meeting. :)

Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Can’t wait for the next installment – it doesn’t get much better than this. I love how you can see through this so clearly with such humor.

I swear that your inner voices and helper mice and my inner voices and helper beings must have gone to the same inner voice and helper being/mice school back in the day. Whenever that was.

“rolling on the floor, laughing”, yup. Sounds just like what goes on in my head.

Annoying Process Question: are the one-sided and the two-sided (multiple-sided?!) conversations taking place at the same time? How can you tell who’s talking? I can hear that kind of cacophony in my head sometimes, but without those handy speaker-designations.

Tell us the rest!

I was totally terrified that no one would find the humor in this and (even though, yeah, it kind of *was* disconcertingly horrible), the whole thing just hit my funny bone at just the right spot. Which is good, because it distracted me from the scary.

@Natalia + Colleen – you are so so right. One of my big lessons right now is just asking for stuff out loud and giving myself permission to do that. So that is definitely something for me to think about.

@Danielle – MWAH! Me too!

Man, you guys are the best. Seriously.

I had to laugh with my head buried in my hands throughout this post. That part with the nurse taking out the stitches … that was a hilariously painful rendition of so many conversations I had with myself while I was an intern.

I’ve often thought that to describe your work would be “it’s like group therapy for all the voices in your head.”

I’m so glad to know there are other people with just as many kookie internal voices as I have (and an equally sarcastic, eye-rolling 25-year-old self).

Love it. Love it. Love it.

I’m so glad it turned out okay and can’t wait to hear the rest.
