In therapy, I help clients understand that their judgmental parts are also protectors, not just negative thoughts.

I need to protect the part of me that feels injured when others misinterpret my motives.

If I let go of my protective response, I might move into a mode of judgment, which I find uncomfortable and sad.

Compassion for our judgmental parts can help us understand that they are trying to protect us and guide us toward discernment.

My inner voice is often critical, pushing me to improve and overcome challenges.

The term 'beastify' is a constant battle for me; I feel judged for my moves.

After meditating, if you find yourself judging others or reacting negatively, use that awareness to improve your responses the next day.

My inner voice often tells me I'm not good enough, but I work to overcome that negativity.

When entering a new relationship, it's vital to understand your own patterns and desires. Reflect on what attracted you to past partners and what you truly need in a relationship. If I become defensive and judgmental because I'm afraid of being hurt again, that past person has power over me; they conquered my spirit.
