Once you get a sense of when and how the critical voice got started you can then ask it to be your ally. Let’s borrow benefits and take off a layer or
two.
KC: Even though my critical voice just wants to keep me safe ---I’m open to asking it to help me in a different way
KC: Even though it’s used to being critical I’m open to the possibility that it now can help me
KC: Even though I know it was and is trying to help me---I acknowledge this and thank it and would love for it to change
EB: Thank you critical voice for trying to keep me safe
SE: I know you are trying to help me
UE: I know I’ve deferred to you in the past
UN: I never questioned you before
CH: But I’m on my own now
CB: I have to take chances
UA: I need you to support me
TH: I would love it if WE could find a different way to support me
EB: Your intention to keep me safe was and is great
SE: Now I need you to support me in a different role
UE: I really need you on my side
UN: A way that would empower us
CH: That would help us achieve more
CB: Not reckless
UA: But sensibly courageous
TH: See baby steps
EB: To remind me to pause and weigh my options
SE: To encourage me to proceed
UE: To not beat myself up if I fall
UN: But to learn from my mistakes
CH: To encourage me to try again
CB: That’s what I’d like
UA: Please stay on my side
TH: Please help me to pause, plan and act
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth- ahhhh
CB: I need you as an ally voice---not critical but supportive---thank you
When the limiting thoughts come back tap on the UE and say: “Choosing to be open to the possibility that my critical voice might be willing to become my supportive ally.”
Have a great weekend!
