The Hidden Bias Within Confronting Our Psychological Demons


Befriending Your Demons (Yes, Really!)

Overcoming our inner demons isn't about silencing them entirely. They hold clues about our fears, insecurities, and unmet needs. We can uncover valuable insights about ourselves by approaching them with curiosity instead of judgment.

Ask Questions: What is my demon trying to protect me from? What need is it trying to fulfill, however misguidedly?

Practice Self-Compassion. Our demons often arise from past hurts. Treat your inner self with the kindness you would give a struggling friend.
