Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I’ve named my inner voices, but I keep going straight at the one that hurts most and it just slams the door harder
• There are all these voices in me
• I can feel there’s a young, hurt place in me that everything else is built to keep buried, and part of me wants to finally turn toward it
• One part of me wants out, another part won’t let me, and they just war with each other on a loop
• When the harsh voice or the anxious spiral takes over, it feels like it just is me
