Dear Julissa:

Yes, I talk  sense to myself following the inner critic giving me its input.  It so happens that my inner critic makes no sense. Problem is the inner critic is not only a voice, or a dry thought, it is also emotion and  the emotion is convincing, so even though often the thought  makes no sense, it  feels true nonetheless.

The inner critic, the mental representative  of our critical parent,  is a combination of thought and  emotion, and  so  it  is difficult to tackle. You can give me an example of a thought+emotion provided by your inner critic and take   it  from there.
