Thank you for sharing your story ❤
Bless you, David. X
I’m binge watching this show❤
Thank you for sharing David 😊
wow i’m doing that homework
You have made a start towards a better future for yourself. Good luck on your journey. x
Great episode, and thank you David for being so open. One question for Alex - how do I increase my awareness of when the Inner Critic is in action? Much of the criticism I aim at myself is automatic and deeply ingrained, and originates from self-regulating as a child growing up in a toxic emotional environment. I've tried using a thought diary in the past, but still find it hard to spontaneously spot the Inner Critic when I'm in company or chatting to others, and very often it's done it's worse before I've realised it's woken up!
Question for Alex - what is the best way to monitor your inner critic?
I have no problem asking for help it’s just sad for some reason when I ask for help nobody shows up often?? And I wonder why I don’t have support over and over again
I have experienced the exact same thing. You aren't alone in that.
David you seem such a great guy. Your voice is lovely although I can’t always understand every word and I know shyness causes ones to cover their mouths when talking. Show your handsome face because you do have one!
All the best to you. I love the toe nail thing with your Dad. Am really sorry you lost him this year. Also sorry your cat died. I suffer from GAD and Depression and for over 5 years CFS/ME. and FMG. Keep going Alex is an amazing person.
Hey David, with Jesus dying on the cross not only for our sin but also our short comings and failures to do the right thing, Jesus brings redemption, he redeems that circumstance. only a relationship with Jesus through what He accomplished on the Cross. Will take the guilt away. Praying for you for relief and rest and truth blessings
Alex, would you invite a Canadian into your care?
I have experienced multiple strategies/ therapies.
I have to say I believe what you are doing may help me break into a couple new plains of consciousness and behaviour .
I have recently experienced multiple medical crisis. Brain tumour , critical large and small poly fibre genetic naturopathy…several more . Now at 58 a wheelchair. .
I am an end of life doula and guide people through grief journeys… Alex I am in a multiple grief journey experiencing my losses in my health.
I know how to deal with grief and isolation and loneliness for others and. I am certainly doing most of my clients strategies but I need help Alex . What do you say? Can you help a fellow commonwealth~er?
I think I can provide inspiration and indeed vulnerability.
I love this channel and am guiding my friends and colleagues to find you!!!!
I had to laugh at the toenail thing but it was also very poignant as I see quite a lot of self-neglect in the area where I live (I moved to Scotland a few years ago) as well as some fierce inner critics who don't allow for even trivial human error. I wonder if there is something in the culture. Bless you on your journey David.
