Addressing Your Inner Critic: A Path to Self-Compassion
Let's get to the roots of your inner critic and challenge it with self-compassion. Discover the connection between OCD, PTSD, and self-disgust.
Hear how to nurture other parts of yourself while acknowledging your protective mechanisms. Practice observing your inner critic, creating distance from it, and embracing mindfulness to shift towards a kinder mindset.
Remember, self-compassion is not about ignoring your inner critic, but about treating yourself with empathy and kindness. Start small with acts of self-care, change your self-talk, and gradually invite in a positive mindset. For more mindfulness strategies, check out my Soul Sync Mindfulness Podcast.
