Healing Your Inner Voice
KEY SHEET by Allen Dekeyser
Key 1: Trade Judgment for Curiosity
Instead of judging yourself for how you’re feeling, get curious.
Ask: “Where did I first learn to talk to myself this way?”
Self-blame keeps you stuck. Curiosity sets you free.
Key 2: Separate the Voice from the Truth
That harsh inner voice? It’s not you — it’s a mix of fear, trauma, and old programming.
Start noticing: “Would I talk to someone I love like this?”
If the answer’s no, it’s time to rewrite that script.
Key 3: Name the Feeling, Don’t Become It
“I’m feeling hopeless” is different from “I am hopeless.”
Give your emotions names, but don’t hand them the driver’s seat.
You’re the storyteller — not the story.
Key 4: Let Shame Leave the Body
Shame sticks when it hides.
Scream. Cry. Journal. Sweat.
Move that pain like a storm passing through — not a storm you live in.
Key 5: Create Without Permission
Your worth doesn’t hinge on being perfect.
Sing off-key. Start that project. Wear the wild outfit.
Joy is a rebellion against shame — so have fun with it.
