I use the “head-banging” technique as a way to almost try and dislodge the Demon from inside my brain. I will only perform this irrational looking routine when the attack has hit a level 9 or higher. Since the feeling I am experiencing is that of a steel ice pick being inserted into my left eye, nostril, cheek and jaw; I try and imagine that the “head-banging” may some how cause this instrument of destruction to somehow break free from it’s many places in my head. I never “bang” the top of my head. This is a tender area that often feels bruised after an attack. I “bang” the area that is about two or three inches above my left ear.
For me the definition of “head-banging” isn’t always hitting my head against a wall or coffee table. I have on occasion used my fist as a “head-banging” tool. I would never, in a million years, use my computer to hit my head. I would NOT want to do anything that would affect my ability to visit this wonderful web-site. Great question!
