A Guided Meditation for Releasing the Harsh Inner Voice with Dr. Kate Truitt

In this guided exercise led by Dr. Kate Truitt, you are invited to slow down and gently connect with the parts of yourself that carry judgment, self criticism, or old beliefs about who you are. These inner patterns often formed during earlier life experiences and learned their roles as a way to help you survive.

This meditation offers space to observe how these parts live in your body and mind, what messages they repeat, and what they may be protecting you from. Rather than trying to push anything away, the practice encourages curiosity and respectful attention, allowing new understanding to emerge.

As the exercise unfolds, you are guided to explore whether these parts still need to work in the same way, or if they might be ready for rest or change. This can open room for greater ease, self trust, and flexibility over time.

As you close, consider taking a moment to write or reflect on what came up for you. Notice what felt familiar, what surprised you, and what felt supportive. You may wish to pause with the reminder that every part of you learned its role for a reason, and that listening can be a meaningful step forward 🤍
