Heal Your Inner Critic
With Koelle WilliamsSo many of us struggle with the voices inside our heads that tell us we aren’t good enough, or smart enough, or that we don’t deserve to be happy, or even to just sit down and relax! Many tactics aim to dismiss, overpower, or defeat our Inner Critics, and although these strategies may work in the short term, the Critics often resurface because the wounds underneath them haven’t been healed. In this course, instead of masking over your Inner Critics or casting them away, I will guide you through getting to know them better, making friends with them, and learning to love your Inner Critics. When we take the time to listen to the fears of our Inner Critics, we essentially reparent ourselves, offering the wisdom we have accumulated throughout our lives to the smallest, most vulnerable parts of us. When these parts feel heard and safe, they relax, and we can then perform with a sense of ease and flow instead of being stuck in a never-ending fight with ourselves.
