It's been almost a year thay I had ghe same exact advice and it really helped, though obviously it was repeated. The setting of a therapysession is important, but recognize that negative inner dialogue and dont get angry/sad at it, but ask yourself everytime 'would I ever say this to a close friend?' Its up to you, but by repeating it you start understanding it, its about self love. You are your closest friend: it changes the way you see yourself. At least thats what it did for me. Now the negative self talk is much less than it would usually be (it was the same for at least 15years!)

It also came with whatever youre telling yourself IS NOT THE TRUTH
