In this gentle practice, we explore a simple yet powerful way to relate to the voice inside that judges, scolds, or warns you: your inner critic.

Instead of pushing it away, we bring awareness, curiosity, and a touch of lightness. By noticing its patterns and giving each one a unique, loving, or even humorous name, we create space between you and the inner voice. This helps you engage with it on your terms without letting it dominate your thoughts, decisions, or self-worth.

In this session, Sriram guides you to:

🌿 Observe your inner critic without judgment

🌿 Identify its recurring phrases, tones, and patterns

🌿 Give each voice a name that feels meaningful — playful or gentle

🌿 Notice how humour and distance can reduce its grip

This practice is inspired by Rosi Greenberg’s work (Everyone Has a Sam) and reminds us: your inner critic is a part of you, but it is not you. Naming it is the first step toward choosing how much attention and power you give it.
