We all have an inner critic who tells us we are screwing things up, that we are not good enough, that no one will ever really care about or love us, and so on. That critical voice can be brutal, depending more or less on the parenting and support we received as children. But all of us wanted to please our parents, and we experienced their anger, frustration, neglect, or criticism as threatening to our own existence. This is where the critic comes from, to make sure we do not disappoint important others by criticizing ourselves before someone else can do so. In that sense, it was created to keep us safe and to protect us from rejection.
As adults, however, that voice is no longer healthy when it limits what we can do and how we can be in the world. In this video lecture, Dr. Lisa Firestone talks about how we can free ourselves from an unhealthy inner critic.
Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice: Webinar Recording with Dr. Lisa Firestone
Each of us has an "inner critic" judging our every action and instructing us on how to live our lives. But how much are we letting this inner critic control us? Are we living the lives we were destined to live or are we living someone else's life? Are our actions based on what we really feel and believe or on negative programming from our past? This webinar recording with Dr. Lisa Firestone can help you counter negative thinking and live free from imagined limitations.
