There’s A Precise Spot On My Back
by Sean - 23 March 2009
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I need to be a paraplegic. I have BIID. I need to be paralysed. I need that paralysis to be the result of an L1/L2 Spinal Cord Injury. What?

Sean suggested there that I should talk to my psychotherapist about what has motivated me to do blindsimming. My first reaction was "Yeah right Sean, he’s just going to think I’m a nutcase". Then I realised that psychotherapists like nutcases. That’s why they are psychotherapists. Here’s what the ensuing discussions with my psychotherapist uncovered:
