I'm Reverend Dr. A'Shellarien Addison, and I'd like to welcome you to my course, A Conversation with Myself: Healing the Internal Voice. You have taken the first step on your healing journey, and I am so excited to walk with you through this journey. You know, so often we think that what other people say has more power than what we say to ourselves. Well, the truth is, what you say to yourself has more power than what anyone else could ever say to you. So as you walk this journey of a conversation with yourself, I want you to always be mindful of what are you saying to yourself? Are you saying positive things? Are you saying negative things? And more importantly, the tape that you're playing in your head, did that tape come from you or did it come from someone else? So this course is designed to help you figure out What are you saying to yourself? Why are you saying it to yourself? And then how do you change what you're saying to yourself so that you become your better self? So this course is gonna walk you through all the various ways that we talk to ourselves. Now, I'm a firm believer, you can talk to yourself, just say the right things. So in a conversation with myself, we're gonna talk about the driving force behind the voice. Where did it come from? Who told you who you are? Who told you who you're not? So then we're gonna look at the influence over the voice. Who really has the influence over the voice? Is it you? Is it God? Is your abuser? Is it somebody taking you to a better place in your life or somebody holding you hostage to a bunch of foolishness? So after we look at the influence over the voice, now we're gonna look at the power in the voice. Where does your voice really take you? Where does it really mean for you to have the power to determine what your internal conversation really is? And then we'll have Hearing God Through the Voice. Sometimes we take God out of the scenario because we wanna do things our way. Hurt, pain, trauma, it holds us hostage to the liberating power of God. And so in this chapter, we'll talk about Hearing God through the voice. Then we'll move to destiny or destruction from the voice. What is your voice telling you to do and how is it, how is it shaping and reshaping your life and where you're supposed to be in your life opposed to where you find yourself in your life? And now finally, we'll talk about control your internal voice. At this point in your journey, you should know where the voice came from, whose voice is leading, and then how you can do things to change the trajectory of what you're saying to yourself. So I want you to enjoy every step of the way. After each part, we have an aha moment. We'll take a woman in the Bible and we'll look at her story, and we'll try and reflect on where we find ourselves in her story so that our aha moment will awaken us to our better selves. So enjoy the journey. I'm here for you along the way, and at the end of your journey, I would love to talk to you about where you find yourself at this point in your journey. Thank you for taking this course.
