shhhh.... Muffled. I'll let you in on a little secret.
Pragmatically, this is the best approach, and ends up with the best result. Borrowing our therapist's positive regard, when we need to, or if we can't dredge some up ourselves. Listening respectfully. Reassuring in a caring way. These things tend to improve behavior of parts of you that don't feel loved or respected by you.
I always say that when someone listens, I don't have to shout to be heard.
It doesn't work right away, but have faith that your therapist is on to something.
