So my dad and I were talking about this earlier today and do you think gaslighting yourself into positive thinking is bad so my dad phrased it as a gaslight yourself until your negative thoughts turn into positive ones which I feel like sounds like a good thing but the same time are you not addressing the issue at hand like what if you do end up gaslighting yourself then I don't know if I said in those negative feelings or emotions all come back in there and was unresolved past trauma like I don't know what are you guys thoughts on that

I totally see where you and your dad are both coming from, but to answer your question, I really feel like it's not necessarily bad because if you have the mindset of fake it until you make it, and some people believe in manifesting right, so if you like think to yourself, okay I can do this and you just like envision a better you and what you're wanting, then it's definitely going to fall into place if you act like you're already there, if that makes sense.
