I've heard of therapists recommending you name your brain - particularly someone you dislike - so that you can separate yourself from the part of you that runs amok.

Fuckin' Greg's at it again, won't let me sleep until I check to see if the door's locked for the seventh time. Boy, I hate that guy.

Have you ever thought... What if Greg is the one who should be here and this is how he tries to fight for control while the concept of self you have is the extra one?

I don't like this naming your brain idea at all.
