Recurrent thoughts are rooted in the subconscious. Think of this inner voice as a tape recorder storing everything we’ve witnessed and heard from our siblings, bullies, friends, society, the media, and especially our parents. This background noise often comes from the internalized voices of the people who raised us, as the recycled words of our parents speaking out of dysregulation. From the time we are at an early age, these voices become the subconscious beliefs we hold about ourselves.
