Ways to Respond to Your Inner Critic

What is the Inner Critic?

Our Inner Critic is that part of ourselves that judges us no matter what we say or do.

It operates to protect us from rejection, embarrassment and failure but does so in a way that causes us harm.

Our task is to respond to it with compassion and sift out any truth from the judgments that need to be addressed.

Common Critical Inner Voices

• "You're ugly."
  
• "You're stupid."
  
• "You're fat."

• "There's something wrong with you."
• "You're different from other people."
