Something about this inner snake I find extremely unsettling is that it knows far more than my conscious.

When solving problems, I sometimes listen to the voice(thoughts) of reason helping me solve the problems going through them with me to identify solutions, whether it be for work or a relationship.

However, its that same voice(thoughts) I learn to trust that in most situations is beating me down with its own thoughts of who or what I am in most any and other situations. Does anyone have this problem?

I want to separate them but I think they are the same. Obviously its a vastly unbalanced struggle, most the time Im losing, its so cunning it tells me it knows what others think of me too.
