Stop Criticizing Yourself: The Inner Parent Theory with Kasia Dodd


Listen Later

We often hear about healing the "inner child," but what about the voice that controls it?

European licensed psychologist and author, Kasia Dodd, joins Brigitte Cutshall to introduce her groundbreaking "Inner Parent Theory" and reveals why healing the critical, fearful inner parent is the real key to unlocking happiness and potential.


3 Key Takeaways:

(1) The Duo Dynamic: The inner self is a duo of the Inner Child (the pure desire to live and play) and the Inner Parent (the structure responsible for awareness, discernment, and providing a safe space).

(2) Focus on the Parent: When inner conflict arises, the problem isn't the Inner Child; it's the Inner Parent, which projects its own negative beliefs (e.g., "you're not good enough") onto the child, causing limitation and unhappiness

(3) Emotional First Aid: For immediate relief from stress or emotional baggage, Kasia recommends exploring Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or "Tapping," noting that simple, free resources are widely available and can provide quick help.
