Here To Listen

A Critical Echo is a voice, thought, image, or re-enactment which endlessly repeats itself in your mind.

This Echo could be a scene from your past that won’t go away making you feel like you are still living in that situation.

The Echo could be a voice, or belief making you feel worthless, jealous, anxious, depressed, lonely, or scared.

Maybe there’s a Critical Echo from the past, something emotionally critical that has never been dealt with. Something you 

may have been unconsciously carrying around like a bag of bricks, sapping all your strength, joy, positivity, and life. 

Maybe there’s an internal Echo critiquing your choices or performance, telling you that; 

"you get everything wrong" - "nobody loves you" - "you need to be perfect" - "why do you keep making mistakes" -  

"why are you so stupid" - "hold in your emotions, vulnerability is a sign of weakness" or "people like you do not win in life". 

These repetitive thoughts could even have a Critical meaning which you may have been overlooking.

Is there an 'Emotional Echo' which has become overwhelming? Do you start crying for no apparent reason? 

Do you sometimes feel depressed, angry, stressed, frustrated, sad, nervous, confused, annoyed, irritated etc? 

Or maybe, on the other hand, do you feel emotionally numb, distant, withdrawn, or disconnected? 

What ever this Critical Echo is trying to communicate; the chances are that you have bought into the message without question. 

But why are these repetitive thought Echoes there in the first place? Where do they come from? 

Do other people have these thoughts or voices? Am I normal? What can I do about it?

If this sounds like you, you are not alone. Reaching out to talk to a professional takes strength and courage, especially when times are tough.
