Gay Men Going Deeper

Dealing with Your Inner Critic


Listen Later

In this episode of Gay Men Going Deeper, we dive into the complexities of the inner critic—the voice in our heads that often feeds perfectionism, shame, and self-doubt. While it can feel like a harsh and relentless judge, the inner critic is actually trying to protect you in its own way. We explore how to better understand this part of ourselves, offering strategies for befriending the inner critic and cultivating a mindset of self-compassion.

Some of the topics covered today are:

  • How the inner critic shows up to fuel perfectionism and shame
  • The hidden ways the inner critic tries to protect us
  • Strategies to befriend your inner critic instead of letting it bully you
  • The power of self-compassion in quieting harsh inner dialogue
  • Transforming negative self-talk into constructive feedback
  • Unleashing your inner self-advocate to help keep the inner critic at bay 
  • Join us for a thoughtful discussion on turning down the volume on self-criticism and fostering a healthier, more supportive relationship with yourself.
