In this podcast episode, we tackle the common issue of self-criticism, especially among young adults. The discussion uncovers how this struggle is shaped by our biology, childhood experiences, and societal demands. The host shares valuable insights into the inner critic's unyielding quest for perfection and provides practical strategies to cultivate self-compassion while quieting that negative self-talk. By exploring the roots of self-criticism and embracing techniques like cognitive diffusion and radical self-compassion, listeners are empowered to confront their inner critic and develop a kinder, more accepting view of themselves.
