An Inner Critic, is one of the names for the voice in our head that usually tries to make us feel small, criticizes and judges us, tells us we are not good enough, and points to our shortcomings and predicts our potential failures. The Critic can provide a running commentary on our lives that we surely did not ask for. Let’s try and reclaim its narrative by examining the evidence for what the Critic is trying to tell us and learn to quiet this voice with self-compassion and self-acceptance.
This workshop is for you if: You experience or have an Inner Critic, you struggle with comparisons and experience negative emotions and thoughts as a result; you are not where you think you should be in life, you struggle with not feeling good enough, and may have periods of low self-worth.
