How To Stop Your Critic From Sabotaging You

Listen Later

We all have different “parts” in our psyches, minds, and souls. Think of each part as a singer on American Idol, competing for the “spotlight” in our lives. Our goal is to:

  • identify
  • accept
  • learn from
  • work with

    • our parts. 

    In her brilliant book Rezoom: The Powerful Reframe to End the Crash-And-Burn Cycle of Food Addiction, author Susan Pierce Thompson outlines 6 Parts than can sabotage our highest self:

    • Indulgers
  • Controllers
  • Caretakers
  • Rebels
  • Inner Critics
  • Isolators

    • The Inner Critic Part wants to “shape you up” and keep you attached to and loved by others. 

    Here are the Inner Critic archetypes or “flavors”:

    • Perfectionist: “If I can just get them to look and act perfect… “
  • Guilt-Tripper: “I will keep them well-behaved.”
  • Control Freak: “I must be able to predict their actions.”
  • Taskmaster: “You must work very hard and be productive.”
  • Underminer: “Don’t do that - you won’t be any good at it.”
  • Conformist: “There is a right and wrong way to be.”
  • Destroyer: “Maybe you should stop trying and give up.”

    • I invite you to consider these questions:

    • When do you notice your Inner Critic Part trying to protect you or keep you safe?
  • What type of Inner Critic resonates most with you?
