All of us have an inner voice which provides a running verbal
monologue of thoughts while we are awake. Your inner voice is
basically your sense of self and your stream of consciousness.As
we grow up and experience things, our pa erns of thoughts and
behaviors (both good and bad) get organized into what
psychologists call schemas. Schemas are our deeply entrenched
beliefs about ourselves and the world. These schemas determine
how we think, feel, act, and relate to ourselves and others. And
very o en, people have developed maladap ve, or nega ve
schemas such as self-defea ng life pa erns of percep on, and
nega ve and cri cal beliefs about ourselves.
And of course these maladap ve schemas guide your inner voice
and your beliefs and behaviors as you get into rela onships. This
cri cal inner voice makes us turn against ourselves by promo ng
hos le, paranoid and suspicious thinking that lowers our
self-esteem and drives unhealthy levels of distrust and anxiety. Let
me give you an example of how this works.

though ul, interested and consistently making plans with
you.Things have been great.
