If you’ve ever felt like you’re your own harshest critic, this episode is for you.
So many people live with an inner voice that is pressurising, impatient, critical, or quietly never satisfied.
And because it’s often been there for such a long time, it can start to feel normal.
It just sounds like your thoughts.
It just sounds like “the truth.”
In this episode, I explore why self-criticism develops, how it becomes normal over time, when it tends to show up, and what it can cost you emotionally and physically.
I also talk about why this can be so hard to change, even when you understand your patterns well, and why nervous system work can often be the missing piece.
This isn’t about getting rid of the inner critic completely.
It’s about beginning to relate to yourself differently.
Even slightly.
Because that’s often where change begins.

If this resonates, I’ve created a new guided hypnotherapy audio to support this work more deeply:
A Kinder Voice Within
A calming, trauma-informed audio designed to help you soften self-criticism and begin relating to yourself more gently from the inside.
Not by forcing positive thinking.
But by allowing your system to experience a different inner tone.
