They say "kill the cop that lives inside you" which is good and necessary advice for over-policing your inner thoughts, but I'd like to add: sometimes you gotta let in a tiny eccentric detective to vacation inside you
Say, if you find yourself thinking "I can't have an eating disorder because I'm too fat" you might need to have a little dude in a smoking jacket with a pipe and immaculately groomed moustache around to point out "But that's PRECISELY what someone with an eating disorder would say!"
Then you could say, thank you, eccentric detective that vacations inside me. That is really something to consider. But then if you see him getting too comfy, maybe eyeing your tastefully appointed embroidered upholstery, you'd have to kill him. Because you gotta kill the cop that lives inside you.
