You know that mean voice inside your head that says “You suck. You never do it right. Why can’t you do things more like so and so down the street?!"?
Yeah, that’s your inner critic and it can make some painful statements and make you feel pretty crappy on the daily.
But what if there was a way to work with your inner critic rather than against it?
I sat down with Sarah Houy, licensed professional counselor to talk about why our inner critic comes out to play and the strategies we can use to transform it from harmful to helpful. Stick with us here….you’ll see how it all comes together.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:-The current issues that Sarah is seeing in her therapy practice after the pandemic.
-What the inner critic voice can actually sound like in real life.
-The model of therapy that Sarah uses and teaches (Internal Family Systems or IFS) and how it shapes the way she views her own inner critic.
-How Sarah recommends we nurture and really listen to this inner voice in order to move through the discomfort.
-You’ll hear me (Kim) go through this exercise in real-time with Sarah as well. I get pretty real about some of the things that I’m going through.
-The specific tools and strategies that you can use to work through a difficult moment.
