In this Selves Inside I talk about the part of us that says 'nothing matters' with its accompanying sadness. I discuss how this self might have arisen and the purpose it is trying to fulfill. Within lead, we find gold.

My nothing matters voice
I had a very strong nothing matters voice for several decades it was only after several years of twice a week therapy for CPTSD that my nothing matters self started healing to my wiser healthier self. I lived life not caring. Risking my life. Living in deep clinical depression. I didn’t realize that there was hope with the right therapist and a lot of work. Meditation was the foundation of my therapy journey.

Nothing matters
The nothing matters voice is strong, but I’m stronger. My nothing matters voice is more of a “this doesn’t matter, so don’t be afraid” but perhaps that’s not the best approach?

Nothing Matters
I learned that another part of our mind that comes into play is "nothing matters". This would typically show itself when we are distraught, sad, or hurt deeply. It's when we may say, "Oh well. That doesn't matter anyway. So what if I was in an altercation with a friend or family member". Then it rationalizes things by planting negatives into our mind. Like "I don't need that person anyway. All she ever does is".....or "It doesn't matter. He is a jerk". That way of thinking brings us deeper into our sadness or hurt feelings. That's what our mind wants.
