I have found it SO helpful to give the voice a name/identity. I have another one I just discovered that I call “Dad.” :P   Now, when I start to “hear” the direction, I can recognize…”wait, this is not me.”  ((HUG))

I'm currently involved in a counseling group for social confidence, and those negative thoughts are working on recognizing and questioning them is something we just discussed last week. We talked about the different types of negative self-talk, but it never would have occurred to me to give the voice a name. But the situation you talked about is something I can really relate to, and I think I will have to try this method the next time I'm having those thoughts. I think it really might help. :) This post really struck a chord with me.

Good luck on turning down their volume! ((HUG)) Those little voices sure can make a big impact. Good luck on turning down their volume! ((HUG))

I've been going through a massive period of transition and transformation lately, feeling very in tune with the love and beauty in my life. This perspective still feels very precarious though, and there are lots of little voices inside fighting against annihilation. This post really helped me to realize that nothing has changed with the world, and that I just need to have the patience to wait until my thoughts change again. Thank you!
