The inner critic can do some serious damage when it narrates our experience of those we love. We interpret behavior as being intentionally harmful, thoughtless, or as evidence that those we care about don't care about us or don't respect us. In this meditation, we tune in to the judgments our inner critic passes on the treatment we get from others, noticing themes of being perceived as less than, damaged, or unworthy. When we notice how our inner critic interprets our relationships, we become empowered to be more flexible, loving, and gentle in our assessments of those we love.
