Reflective prompts
Sit with one. Write or just think. There's no right answer — only what surfaces.
What feeling am I avoiding right now — and who in my past did I learn to avoid it from?
When I react more strongly than the situation calls for, what older story is being touched?
What did I have to become as a child to feel safe or loved? Is it still serving me?
Whose voice is the inner critic? When did I first hear it?
What pattern keeps repeating in my relationships? What might it be trying to resolve?
Deep psychodynamic work is best supported by a trained therapist over time. Use these prompts as a starting place — and consider finding a clinician for the deeper journey.
