The Inner Critic is a fancy name for that voice in your head that loves to put you down for your mistakes or poor choices. It's that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you feel shame or guilt over something you did or didn't do. In this episode, we'll explore the Inner Critic's origins and how we can combat it when it inevitably shows up.
As promised, here's a link to my blog post on The Medium about this topic as well as the link to where to buy the book "Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving: A Guide and Map for Recovering From Childhood Trauma".

This usually includes an extended period of rumination where we question why we did what we did and begin berating or belittling ourselves over our past choices. Tune in to hear some strategies for how to pull yourself out of this cycle.

In this episode, I'll discuss how our parents’ parenting led to the coping skills, personality traits, and maladaptive thinking patterns we experience in adulthood.
I'm NOT bashing parents in this episode, I promise! I am hoping to simply raise awareness about how we became who we are today so we can use this knowledge to find healing and become better versions of ourselves.
Happy healing!
