This is excellent advice Nick. Having been a long time practicing narrator of my low worth, the elf you described being my only constant companion and it was like its reflection in words echoed by my ex wife and other partners, causing an unhappy relationship. My strategy of avoiding difficulties of emotions was by removing the source, made easier during the pandemic, without anyone to reinforce my own feelings of low worth. Now I wonder should I try again, without the elf and it’s nasty conspirator the ego, who tells everyone how good I am, which of course is not how I feel. A friend said I should, without the ego she said I would see the path to heaven. I guess she would include the elf.
