Has anyone here worked through deeply rooted traumas, like those tied to social anxiety?

From what I understand, you're supposed to identify the core issues like the internalized critical voices from your parents but I’m not sure what to do once I’ve recognized them. Am I supposed to challenge them with rational counterarguments, like debating a critic? Or are there other mental strategies to use, since these voices don’t exactly respond to logic?

Some examples: “You’re being a burden,” “You’re taking up too much time,” “You’re too slow,” “You’re too quiet/loud,” “You don’t look right,” “You should be more perfect.”
