It may help to realize that critical voices often come out of desperation & duress — such as a little child blaming herself instead of the adults who were hurting her, because it was safer to think that way.
Yes, it does help a lot! I never looked at it that way and it makes a huge difference. I can tend to be defensive towards my critical voices, because they attack me, but I've not really considered that they are the voices of a hurt person..
Thanks, MG.
