Meeting the Inner Critic and Rewriting the Rules (w/ Rosi Greenberg)
How many of you can relate to that internal voice that tells you that you're not doing something right, you’re not good enough, or that you’re an imposter? There are many voices and names for this broad phenomenon - negative self talk, saboteurs, or inner critics, to name a few.
We’re joined today by an expert in relating to our inner critics, Rosi Greenberg to explore:
- What is an inner critic, where does it come from, and when does it show up in our lives?
- How do you become familiar with your inner critic?
- How do you actually find wisdom in what the critic wants for you, and start to relate to the critic in a different way?
- And finally, what does this new relationship do for you as you move through life?
Rosi talks about how our inner critic develops early in our lives as a response to moments where we are deliberately or inadvertently made to feel that we can’t be ourselves. In order to make our outer world make sense, our inner critic tells us that there might be something wrong with us.
Rosi goes on to share 4 practices that help us redefine the relationship with your inner critic: 1) Noticing and naming the critic, 2) Understanding its origin and intent, 3) Finding its wisdom, and 4) Rewriting the rules of our relationship with our critics.
By giving the inner critic air time, being in dialogue with it, and even sharing what it says externally with others, we find a way to incorporate the critic’s voice without letting it define us. In this episode, we unexpectedly enter into dialogue with our own inner critics on air, and through that exchange we glimpse into the experience of the powerful shift in which the critic transforms into our ally.
