how do you reason with the voices? dont give them any power. you can use phrases like "i know what your up to’’ or ‘‘who cares’’ , ‘‘so what’’, or “I know your just my brain so who cares” whatever they say just downplay it like its meaningless.
I assume ignoring them hasnt worked since its been going on for years.
anything the voices say is meaningless.
this sorta stuff is like do it yourself CBT

Yes Ive had those type of voices. They would tell me to jump off the roof when I was working or to push a colleague off the roof
Voices kept telling me to cut my head off with a serrated knife. Then they would give up on that and tell me to tie a belt around my neck and just get it over with. All sorts of crap.
Sorry for the details
For me the cbt style strategy helped deal with it, and over time it mellowed out.
The voices have said they were demons, God, jesus, satan, aliens, deceased people,famous dead people.
One day they admitted they were just my brain, and started referring to themselves as “the collective”
Sometimes I’d check if they were around when my brain finally went silent for a while. Sometimes they told me to shut up and that they were discussing things or they were sleeping
I still hear voices from time to time (rarely nowadays). But I’ve learned to deal with it
