💐Thank you guys for sharing your "inner-snake-stories".

Reading about yours soothed my inner turmoil about this criticizing part of myself a bit.
Although i never thought about it as an inner snake😅makes it sound kinda cute.
For me it rather feels like a shadow looming over my shoulder and watching everything i do or hiding in the back of my mind while criticizing everything in a low wisper that sometimes manages to infest every thought.
The comments of loving even this part of myself... are still hard for me to accept. Guess I am part of the faction that wants to erase or shut this part up for good🙈. Can't find anything to love about it. Because at some point it always goes over board.
Hope this thread is still active.
Warm hugs for everyone and be blessed 🍀

Yes the thread is still active.

I hear what you are saying. Our snakes are strong minded and most consistent.

I have had some success with loving her and getting some reprieve. Most of the time she still spouts her nonsense. There are times she speaks a valuable message to warn me. I have asked her to "say it again, this time say it nicely please."

I love that my snake is there for me at those times.

I also love her and try to recognise her wounds from when we were much smaller. It can help temporarily.

Sending kind wishes for a happy Easter

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.

Yes I think all our snakes are like this.

Yin and yang...

I think we are supposed to assess whether the snakes message is true for us and challenge him/her if he/she belittles us. We were programmed in our childhood and so was our snake.

I think the snakes ability to imagine what others think, is the most damaging trait. It is hard to spot it and analyse it before it invades us. Sometimes I worry that I have upset someone after not hearing from them. They were busy but my snake tells me they don't like me anymore and I am bad and useless. In the long run it turns out to be untrue but my snake is very cunning and convincing.

Good post dear Thirty shades.

Our primary care givers did not care about us and belittled us.

A child would internalise that lack of care, their inability to care, and feel that it is them who are ''bad and useless'' - they could not place blame or perceive a deeply flawed human who probably should never have been a parent... that would be too dangerous.

So if someone else appears not to care, whether this is real or perceived, especially if that person had appeared to care before... it sets our snakes programming off. As you said, usually the person is not like the primary ''care givers'' and is a decent human being who was busy rather than callous and cruel.

I don't know if this makes sense.

hugs and respect to you and your snake
