Hey, just to clarify, what I wrote about wasn’t Josephine’s redirect method. I’ve read her stuff, and she’s solid, but what I was referencing is what happened when I actually did the work. I lived with a parasite for years. I didn’t redirect it, I starved it. I didn’t blow it into a candle, I stopped feeding it. No theatrics, just daily refusal.
So I totally respect that others may be coming at this from different angles, but I wasn’t quoting McCarthy, I was adding to her foundation with field notes. Accuracy matters here, its an important topic. I am in no way minimizing your take hell, its not wrong. In fact you added some valuable context and scaffolding from her book.
