Dear Saman:

You wrote: “these voices have been there as long as I can remember, it comes natural to me”- these are strong voices, combinations of words and strong emotions. You don’t only hear something like: “you are worthless”, you FEEL it. You think it, feel it, and believe it.

You know of people who feel and believe whole heartedly that something is true, and yet you know it is not true, correct? Maybe certain religious people…? They feel and believe it, yet it is not realistically true. Same for you.

It does take work and time, lots of patience to no longer believe those words. I hope you take on that work.
