If the voice in your head is judging or blaming you or anyone else you can be sure that you have had shame triggered internally or externally and you are feeling shame at that moment. Practice separating the bodily sensation of shame from the words of judgment and criticism that seem to come with it. Put the words associated with the shame off to the side on a shelf you have visualized. Just let yourself feel the shame in your body without judgment and allow it to come up and out. Ideally share it with someone you trust. This takes practice for most people to be able to do but is well worth the effort for the freedom it affords. The judgments and criticisms are just introjects you were taught to believe a long time ago and are not about you.
