For me, it works very well. It feels like I've been fighting a monster in my head, and by writing it all down I'm able to walk round the side of it and I see it's actually a flap of paper with no substance. So I'd say it's worth a try, but it may well be that it will take something different for you.
That's a very interesting technique you're using! Maybe a combination of both will slay the beast.
I love the metaphor you're using of fighting a monster and walking around it. I'm starting to wonder if that itself might also be another way to attack the beast. Metaphor is after all emotional and to give something an identity like that, not to mention the power of imagination, might really help. For instance I read a thread the other day with a conversation between God, JC, and Casper... and that was powerful not only in terms of the arguments it put forward in their dialogue but also in terms of the imagery. So perhaps where there's this monster to slay for you, my monster as it were, could be the imagination of these three characters in that form... try and associate that, as a metaphor, with the belief system I'm trying to fight. So I think that's three methods of attack we've got between us now
