Excerpt: Were you a victim of bullying in school, at work, or in a relationship? If the answer yes, then your experience has helped to shape your inner critic’s sentiments. Bullying ranges from mild to severe but no matter the degree of torment the effects are more or less the same. The toll such oppression takes on the victim is well documented through scientific experiments and behavioral observation. Even the mildest form of bullying and tyranny creates lasting memories that impacts your idea of self-worth and self-esteem. Victims of bullying are often times triggered by situations, environments and individuals and tend to react counterintuitive to self-preservation. This is further exacerbated by their inner critic, who repeats the same words expressed by their former aggressor. If your inner critic replays your trauma on loop, then you are dealing with internalized hate, repressed loathing and feelings of revulsion.
