I wrote this thread (also in my signature) and I have the exact same realization as you... let's be kind to our inner critic, he will be kind to us too... that's what science says. But of course, it doesn't end there.

I feel that I have a lot of "inner snakes". I think about myself and how I'm not a good of a person as I should be or should have been. When I get confronted by someone for doing wrong, my mind goes into a whirl. My mind says things like: "yea, he's right. You don't do things well. You irritate people a whole lot", etc. But like one previous poster said, "we come down harder on ourselves because we didn't confront that person who had hurt us" (something like that). And a very big regret I have is that I had not lashed back and I felt like the other person deserved it. But we have to be careful of that, especially when being confronted for doing wrong.

I hope you're doing ok, Thirty shades. How is it going with your inner snake? Please try not to listen to him. Stay safe and take care of yourself. Sending many hugs to everyone

She is a bit furious with an outer snake at the moment. So she's on my side but being a little bit too aggressive internally. I dare not let her loose to deal with it while she is in this mood. An assertive response when she has calmed, perhaps... Or maybe just forget the snake responsible for our distress.... Much love to you ![]() |

I find this thread sad, fascinating, and so true. The "inner snake" being discussed here has been given lots of different names and designations over the centuries... A recent book (and kind of a good one, I think) about it is called "Taming Your Gremlin" by Rick Carson.
Personally I've tried lots of approaches with mine. First I tried to talk back to it (recommended by a therapist). This did not work because it is stronger and more wily than me. Next I thought maybe I could eradicate it for good -- now no longer believe that's possible. My current M.O. is to allow it to bleat on softly in the background while I go about whatever task it's telling me I won't be able to do. It's usually still bleating the same B/S long after I've finished the task! ![]() ![]() |
