Today I want to ask you a question: “How much do you love the person you spend the most time with?” 

Yes, I’m talking about you. Wherever you go, you’re with yourself—you can’t escape that. So why speak to yourself in ways you’d never speak to your best friend? We often let the harshest voice go unchecked—the one in our own head. 

After surviving abuse, that inner voice can become a battlefield. It echoes the criticism, shame, and fear you once heard daily. You might catch yourself thinking: 

• “Why did I let this happen?” 

• “Maybe I was the problem.” 

• “I’ll never be whole again.” 

But hear this: that voice is not the real you. It’s a broken recording from someone else’s narrative. And starting today, you can begin to change the script. 

Today’s Truth Practice: 

1. Notice – Become aware of your inner voice. What does it say? 

2. Name It – Is it kind? Is it yours? Or does it sound like someone from your past? 

3. Nurture – Respond with the truth you’d speak to a dear friend in the same situation. 

You don’t have to silence the voice all at once. You only need to speak back to it—gently, firmly, and often. Over time, your inner voice can become your greatest ally. 

This work takes practice—but every kind word you speak to yourself plants a seed of healing. 

Tomorrow, we’ll talk about how your body holds your story—and how to begin honouring it again.
