Today I’m going to be talking about something that comes up a lot with my coaching clients, and that is ways to manage fears around writing.

My view is that fear arises when your inner critic is trying to protect you and keep you safe. 

As I’ve talked about before, your inner critic has positive intentions even when it’s making you feel anxiety and self-doubt by telling you horrible things about yourself and your writing.

The truth is that you can’t fully get rid of your inner critic.

Also, there are times when it’s been extremely useful to you and helpful in getting you to where you are now. 

So knowing this, this episode talks about four strategies you can use to manage your fear rather than try to rid yourself of it entirely.
