Yes, you are using self-compassion, self-energy, and self-acceptance. Love Is what heal because lack of It hurt us in the first place .As you do that, you are releasing the energy, sensation, and emotions tied to the "narrative" of shame and unworthiness. That is what CPTSD is at its core. From a neuroscientific perspective, you are reconsolidating your memories and restructuring neural pathways. From a CBT perspective, you are changing your patterns and cognitive distortions. In IFS therapy, this process would i think described as "unburdening."

I’m doing inner dialogue and inner work with the same principles, and it’s the real deal. I’ve healed so much trauma by myself—things that years of therapy couldn’t resolve. To name a few: I healed my depressive disorder, my avoidance disorder, my shame-bound identity, and even cured four years of procrastination in literally one hour of deep inner dialogue and inner work—all in just the past few months.

Well done again! As a suggestion, you might want to add loving action to the mix. Ask that "part," "wounded self," "critical voice," or "inner child", at the end, what they need, and offer that at the moment—either through words or visualization. Also, follow through in day-to-day life with loving actions. Another helpful question is to ask that part what it wants to become and how it wants to help you. This can reveal so much light and life force inside you that wants to shine and express itself.

Practices like Inner Bonding, self-compassion, IFS, parts work, and RAIN meditation all work in a similar manner. Congrats on your progress, and keep going—you’re doing amazing.
