Your relationship to your voices is important. Stand up to them, man! Face those ugly bastards head-on. Understand where they are coming from. Voices may represent aspects of your emotional and mental state.
Turn them into positive experiences. Don’t take them literally. Approach their words as metaphors showing you what you might need to change about yourself.
Kill yourself = I’m mad at myself. I feel so overwhelmed that I feel like dying.
Go kill him = I’m mad at him. He’s threatening, makes me feel insecure, and I need to watch my back around him.
Everyone hates you = Be careful what I say or how I act around these people.
