"The inner critic only wants what’s best for you, but lets you know in an ineffective way. So reason with it. Tell it how strong you are. And remind it that kindness trumps criticism.” In this episode I share some tools from the book by Ellen Hendriksen, Ph.D., How to Be Yourself - quiet your inner critic and rise above social anxiety. This is part 1 in a 2 part series. I reveal the big worry or the why of social anxiety. I also tell you about two tools, replace and embrace, as ways to challenge your inner critic. Good practical stuff to help yourself, your kids, or anyone you might know who struggles with social anxiety, a lot or even a little.
