Kind of, but this is where psychology and Spirituality part company for the majority of Spiritual people that think psychology and Spirituality are different/separation.
The inner voice is still 'you' or at least an aspect of 'you', depending on your beliefs. Your unconscious and your consciousness are in a 'symbiotic relationship' and even as you read this, everything is being 'processed' by your unconscious first. The 'result' of that processing is what you become aware of. The Jungian ego is like a 'gate-keeper' in that it 'filters' what you become conscious of. And I'm being horribly over-simplified here.
The Jungian ego has to maintain its grip on reality, otherwise you'd end up like a spaced-out space cadet. However, it can 'loosen' it's grip a little and this leaves 'room' for the inner voice to come through. Fear is your Jungian ego being scared of losing its grip, so make the voice into a friend quite literally if that helps you.
It's really about integrating aspects of your self - as opposed to yourself. Your Jungian ego and your intuition are aspects of your self.
