Let's Talk About...Inner Critics

...Inner Critics...those parts of us who can be hard to show compassion for, to say the least.  We all have Inner Critics, and believe it or not, their job is to help us.  Sure, how they do that can do some serious damage to our wounded parts, but their intentions are positive.

In this episode, we draw on the expertise of Jay Earley and Bonnie Weiss (Freedom from Your Inner Critic: A Self-Therapy Approach) to discuss the seven types of Inner Critics:

• The Perfectionist

• The Task Master

• The Conformist

• The Controller

• The Underminer

• The Guilt Tripper 

• The Destroyer

We then talk about why these parts do what they do and what they're hoping to achieve, as well as what to do about them.  Of course, we want to get to know them, but there's a couple more things that can be helpful when dealing with our Inner Critics.  

If you've ever heard the voice of an Inner Critic, take a listen!
