Whose Voice Is That?

Helps you notice the harsh voice in your head and where it learned to talk that way.

Purpose: Helps you notice the harsh voice in your head and where it learned to talk that way.

When to use: Use this on a day the voice has been loud.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Write what the voice in your head has been saying today. Word for word if you can.
  2. Who does it sound like? It might be someone you know, or nobody in particular.
    A parent, a teacher, a coach, an old boss, someone from school.
  3. How true does it feel right now?
  4. If that voice belonged to a person in the room, what would you want to say back?

The voice picked up its tone somewhere. Knowing where does not fix it, but it loosens it.
