Limitations of Past Incidents

Going back to childhood and memories of using my voice I wonder if various incidents have psychologically contributed to my SD. For example on many occassions when I was young and I contributed a comment about an issue, my mother God bless her, would invariably say "what would you know?" and of course being young, I accepted that she must know best and that I didn't know much at all. However I do remember at times feeling hurt and embaressed that I had spoken. (Now that this comes to mind I will use EFT to release these feelings.)

Looking back I can see that this attitude I adopted, of doubting my intelligence has been limiting. Even in conversation today, I am reluctant to say anything, not just because of my SD but because there is some fear of whether my words will be accepted or rejected. I don't doubt my intellegence because I achieved high grades academically and I have an excellent job but there is something about myself that I do doubt. Maybe when I work this out then my SD will disappear!
