Episode notes
Negative Voice Isn't Always Yours
- A negative inner voice can be an adopted voice from others rather than your true self.
- Distinguishing that voice from your own is the crucial first step toward change.
Notice And Externalize The Voice
- Notice the negative thought when it appears and label it as separate from you.
- Practice externalizing the voice so you can start to respond to it deliberately.
Flip Identity And Other
- Flip identity and other: treat the negative voice as the other and your true voice as identity.
- Intentionally develop and amplify your faint true voice over time.
