Slit Shield

This full body shield protects one from deep-seated negative messaging about conditions such as gender, race, and status.  It is a powerful shield that protects one from the most critical voices that reside within the psyche. Often these voices were heard in adolescence, and then entrenched in adulthood as one came to believe their message. The battle is waged between the inner critic and is won by the brilliant, confident inner child who has always existed within.
