That's perfect, Joely. You've got all kinds of evidence that you're worthless and bad. Your deepest conviction is that you are worthless and bad. That's fine!
Being worthless and bad feels true and reassuring and safe for you, it has powerful meaning for you and you're holding on tight to it, your heart breaks for others and for their sake you must answer that yes, you are worthless and bad. It makes sense and I totally get it.
And you haven't answered my question yet: Is it possible to know that for sure? Is it a Universal Truth, a 100% certainty, that you are worthless and bad? History, God, and Simon Cowell would all agree to that? The answer may be yes or no, whatever is true for you, but I want you to answer that question specifically, please.
