In this episode of Do It for The Gram, Milton speaks with Chelsea Witbrook, a certified spiritual director and Enneagram teacher, about our inner critic that operates across all Enneagram types. The inner critic is not just a critical voice, it’s a set of beliefs, demands and expectations for how we think we need to be, preventing us from changing. It supports our positive self-image, but staying within the bounds of our types. Chelsea unpacks this internal struggle and how it differs from our inner observer, which comes from a more neutral place. She also shares practical tools and strategies to take back control of your inner narrative.
