In this episode:  

The voice inside your head speaks constantly, quietly, and automatically, and most people never stop to question whether it is telling the truth. When something goes wrong, that voice gets louder, stating its conclusions as if they are settled facts rather than opinions. For a long time, the belief was that being hard on yourself kept you sharp, responsible, and on track. But the evidence told a different story. The more the criticism, the smaller and more contracted life became. This piece explores what happens when you finally pause long enough to ask whether the harshest voice in the room is actually helping you, or just keeping you stuck.
