Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- On paper I’ve talked myself most of the way out of believing “if I speak up I’ll be rejected,” but it still has a grip on me
- I’ve done the work of weighing the evidence, but now I need to land on a replacement thought that actually fits all of it
- I want to lay this recurring thought out and actually weigh it like a fair judge
- My mind only ever collects the evidence that proves the worst version is true and quietly throws out everything that doesn’t fit
- Even when I “correct” my thinking it comes out in this cold, scolding voice
