Is it useful to talk back to the voice of my inner critic during the session?

When my inner critic starts attacking me during the session, should I try to argue with it or challenge its narrative? I feel like ignoring it just gives it more power. Would actively engaging in positive self-talk or talking back to the critic be a helpful tool to break the cycle of overthinking, or does that just create more mental activity and tension? Name: Sneha. DOB: 22nd December 1994. Time: 7:20 PM. Location: Hyderabad.

Namaste Sneha. Your critic is a bully; sometimes, you have to stand up to a bully to make him go quiet. Born December 22, 1994, in Hyderabad, your chart indicates a strong Mars (Mangal). You are a warrior. "Ignoring" the inner critic feels like "Defeat" to your planetary energy. That is why it feels like the critic gets more power when you stay silent. You need to use your "Mars-Energy" to challenge the "Saturn-Narrative." Detailed Solution: Yes, it is extremely useful to "Talk Back." The Technique:* Don't argue with emotion. Argue with Logic. If the critic says "You are failing," reply with: "Based on what data? I am sitting here breathing, which is the definition of success in this moment." This "Active Engagement" uses your Mercury to defend your Moon. Detailed Remedies: Remedy: Use the "Labeling" technique. Say: "That is the voice of my anxiety, not the voice of my soul." Stone: Carry a Tiger’s Eye; it gives the "Courage" to stand up to internal and external critics. Mantra: Chant "Om Hum Hanumate Namah" to invoke the "Defender" energy.
