INNER LIBERATION
FIND FREEDOM FROM THE INNER CRITIC
SIGNS YOU HAVE A HARSH INNER CRITIC
Have trouble resting, and feel guilty, because of all you "should" be doing.
Feeling unmotivated and uninspired - trouble starting or finishing projects.
Relentlessly compare yourself to other people and shame yourself for not being further along.
Feel like total shit about yourself, even to the point of not believing you deserve to be alive.
Loneliness because your authentic self isn't in the world.
Don't do things even though you know they'd make you feel better.
Blame yourself for everything that goes wrong whether your health, relationships or career.
Obsess over your self improvement.
Demand perfection in everything you do, immediately.
Imposter syndrome.
Have trouble receiving comfort or compliments.
Decision paralysis.
Relationships are hemmed by approval dependence, people-pleasing and fear of rejection.
Limited access to pleasure and joy, instead anxious and depressed.
Burnout because of your relentless drive to meet your impossible standards.
Difficulty making and maintaining close friendships.
Imagine the freedom and possibility, the joy and the energy
when you aren’t beating yourself up all the time, driving yourself to exhaustion, demanding perfection, and being run by “shoulds”.
The inner critic can feel like an absolute oppressor. If the critic has been in the driver seat for much of your life you are probably disconnected from your creativity and your instinctive knowing, a state which make's you wonder if the critic is right after all.
The critic is not right, but it’s not wrong either. The inner critic plays an essential role in every psyche. Believe it or not, it is rooted in love. But the gap between intent and impact is a massive chasm and you shouldn’t have to bear that.
In our work together, we’ll uncover how the critic is trying to protect you, and develop your capacity to maturely and lovingly meet those needs. We’ll also grow your ability to respond to the critic from a seat of loving authority so that you are parenting the inner critic instead of being bullied by it.
As the critic quiets down, you get to simply be yourself, and you discover that you are incredible. You are seriously awesome. The self-love and confidence that flowers here makes the critic impossible to believe.
STRANDS OF MY APPROACH
parts work
We need to hear directly from the inner critic how it loves you. We develop your capacity to support the parts the critic has been protecting, so it doesn’t have to. We hear and comfort the parts that are angry and exhausted from the critic’s oppression. We sit with the grief and the suffering of the whole situation.
hypnosis
With hypnosis, we make changes at a deep subconscious level, feel the wonderful relaxing pleasure of trance, and shift the use of the imagination from catastrophizing toward seeing yourself doing well.

It is important to have an action orientation and not just a reflective one.

To feel good in your body and experience the joy of being alive.
