    For me it is more the inner voices(plural), several critics but I’m not officially schizophrenic and not delusional enough to know I’m perfect in any way or correct either. And I don’t believe in conspiracy theories or aliens invading planet Earth.

    so rather than believing what it says – actually stop and listen to it. What are you REALLY trying to tell me?

    That’s good advice you’ve given there, I think.

    Just like running from anything – often it’s better to stand and face it. maybe it’s not that scary afterall.

    I was a good runner a good athlete. Then I discovered I had an ability to run away from difficult situations. I’ve been running all my life, you could say, but just occasionally I stop and face my demons.

    Dear pomplemous:

    A wise man your brother is to point this out to you. How did he acquire his wisdom?

    Very enlightened and enlightening post, says I. The Internal Critic (or critics, in Jack’s case: hi Jack!) is a natural part of our psyche. For many people it is an Abusive Internal Critic, also termem=d Toxic Internal Critic. It is the Freudian Superego comlimenting the Id and the Ego (that unlike the Buddhist Ego, in Freudan terms, the Ego is the healthy part that makes it possible for the Superego and the Id to get along). These terms, as old as Freud, are far from being a new hippie thing.

    I like that you first acknowledge that voice, then face it, talk back to it, evaluate and challenge its thoughts. Bravo!!!

    Hello Anita. Thank you for your reply.

    Brother went through same stuff I did as kids and he found his path in learning counselling. He was probably just on that page in the book in his studies but it Changed. My. World.
    I will never go back. Sometimes I’m still mean to myself but it sounds ridiculous now so I have to giggle.. shsddap! You don’t even believe that. ‘ … ‘oh yeah’ .

    Now I also have another theory. That sometimes a body needs to cry. Flushing out excess chemicals and whatever stuff happens in a head, but sometimes a body needs to cry. Rebalanced hormones etc

    I reckon ahead sometimes tells you horrible things to make you feel terrible but it’s the only way it can think of to make you cry because your body needs it …. you’re hardly going to go and bang your own thumb with a hammer to mske you cry so nasty thoughts was all it could think f for a fast relief.
    So sometimes you’re just getting it but it’ll be worth it on the other side of a good cry in a safe private place.
