Tatsy, I'm so glad you are experiencing this gift.
This weekend I've been reading "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts" by Gabor Mate, which others have mentioned on SR. I find it very interesting and helpful. Near the end of the book, he describes five "steps" to take when experiencing a craving or thoughts of acting out an addictive behavior. He doesn't mention AVRT, but to me, these steps can be seen as an elaboration of the "recognition" piece of AVRT. Perhaps a more detailed way to go about recognizing and letting go. For those who haven't read it, the five steps are:
Re-label -- "I don't need to do X now, I'm only having an obsessive thought that I have such a need, a false belief that I have such a need"
Re-attribute -- "This is not really me, it's old circuits in my brain sending me a false message."
Re-focus -- find something else to do for a few minutes that I enjoy
Re-value -- remind myself of the decision I have made to not engage in the behavior, and why.
Maybe that overcomplicates the recognition piece, or maybe it helps. I just offer it here as food for thought, and welcome any comments.
