Do you struggle with a harsh inner voice that says things like “You should’ve done more,” or “What’s wrong with you?”

For highly sensitive people, self-criticism isn’t just a mindset issue—it’s a nervous system response. And once you understand where it comes from, you can begin to shift it.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the inner critic forms (especially in HSPs)

• How perfectionism, shame, and people-pleasing are protective responses

• The link between nervous system dysregulation and negative self-talk

• How to reframe your inner critic as a scared protector—not a villain

• A simple practice (Pause → Name → Nourish) to begin softening your self-talk
  

If you’re ready to release the belief that you’re “too much” or “not enough,” this episode is your invitation to begin healing that inner voice with compassion—not force.
