That’s plausible, though I’ve gone more the route of assuming I have a whole self which is worth more than the attacking bits. It still takes assuming that the attack bits have some purpose—in my case, the belief that I must be very afraid of something to be constraining myself so much.
I don’t know what the something might be, but just framing the situation that way was a huge relief compared to the idea that the internal attacks were a sign that something was very wrong with me.
