Worksheet
The How Do You Speak to Yourself? Worksheet helps clients explore their inner dialogue by identifying different self-talk voices—from the bully to the nurturer. Therapists can use this tool to support emotional awareness, reduce self-criticism, and encourage kinder, more empowering self-talk between sessions.


Invite clients to reflect on the different voices shaping their inner world, like the bully, the coach, or the nurturer. Use this worksheet as a springboard for exploring how self-talk influences mood, motivation, and self-worth during sessions or as an at-home journaling exercise. This tool prompts reflection around self-esteem, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.
This worksheet is ideal for clients struggling with low self-worth, harsh self-criticism, or internalized shame. It’s especially effective for clients who benefit from parts work, inner child exploration, or self-reflection around their emotional patterns and coping styles.
