Part 2: Write a Letter to Your Inner Censor
Return to Part 1
Your Inner Censor has been with you for a long time now — probably
as long as you can remember. All these years, he or she has been working
hard to protect you from your thoughts. Too hard. He's getting in your
way
Write a letter to your Inner Censor. Explain why you need to go against
his or her wishes. Explain why it's time for him to retire.
As you write your letter, keep in mind that although your Inner Censor
might seem irritating or in the way at times, he means well. He has struggled
all these years to "protect" you. It's just that he's not efficient.
If you're angry at your Inner Censor, it's okay to express that. If you
want to thank your Inner Censor for his hard work, that's great. Maybe
you feel sad that it's time for him to go. He's been a big part of you
all these years. Whatever you feel a need to express or explain, be honest.
Don't let your Inner Censor censor your letter!
Whatever tone you take, conclude your letter firmly. Explain to your
Inner Censor that it's time for him or her to go.
When you're finished writing your letter, move on to part 3 of this exercise.
