Marcus Line 5

A person acknowledges that they have internalized a critical voice from their past but now realizes they are no longer equating survival with truth. Right. He says, I recognize you echo bully your voice, your certainty. You learned how to speak when I was young, overwhelmed and unprotected. There's no denial here, no pretending the inner critic doesn't exist. But then comes this crucial line. But I'm no longer confusing survival with truth.
