Good addendum. I worked with a trauma therapist for years and loathed myself so much I would burst into tears when i saw myself in the mirror. after adding in limitless self love affirmations under their guidance my entire life changed for the better. I also was really afraid of needles and would cry during vaccinations but adding in that I’m brave and not afraid of needles took care of that as well. I’m quite suggestible and my brain responds super well to a couple months of daily repetition!

After reading that study I also pursued my affirmations much differently than it describes, taking cues from marketing and self hypnosis methods. Always verbal, while my executive network was distracted and always in the third person. so i don’t say ‘I’m lovable’ I repeat variations like ‘have you heard about digitaldruid? She loves herself limitlessly! Oh yeah, I years she is really brave and not afraid of needles at all!’. for me this is extremely effective and my therapist is thrilled with my results because I tried a lot of meds to no avail.
