So if I understand you correctly, I don't hate myself. I hate only one part of myself? I think I've slowly been coming to that conclusion. I've been trying to be kinder to myself overall lately.

Basically, but the next step is to forgive and love that part as well. That part of you developed for a reason. If you can name what that part of you is, you might be able to look back to a time where that part of you was what was helping you. Now that you are living a different life, the game is to tell that part to step to the side and let another part of you take the wheel.

At least that's what a gleaned from my conversation last night.
