How to Fix Your Cruel Inner Voice

About this episode

The episode discusses how to manage and transform the critical inner voice of highly sensitive individuals.

The critical voice inside a highly sensitive person runs like a constant commentary, and understanding why it exists doesn't make it stop. We were shamed into absorbing critical messaging as if it were wisdom, and now we people-please our own destructive self-talk because dismissing it feels painfully rude. Peace becomes possible when we give our wisest self real permission to step in and lead with loving firmness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
