The speaker reassures listeners dealing with self-criticism that they are not alone if they relate to Theo's words. They are urged to recognize this critical inner voice as a survival mechanism that may no longer be helpful. By acknowledging and understanding it, individuals can choose a different, more positive narrative for themselves. If you're listening and you recognize your own echo bully in Theo's words, please know you're not alone. That voice might feel like the truth, but it's not. It's a remnant of survival, trying to protect you in a way that no longer serves you. You can acknowledge it, understand it, and still choose a different story.
