Have the grounding and strength to separate from your Critic's message so you have room to breath and find your center again.
Feel safe enough to access your curiosity about it. Inner Critic parts are actually trying to help and protect you (even though they actually cause trouble). You can learn about their positive motivations.
Learn about the seven types of Inner Critic parts and which ones are problematic for you.
Develop compassion for your Inner Critic and the Criticized Child part it hurts.
Learn to appreciate what your Critic is trying to do for you. This allows you to develop a cooperative relationship with it.
Use IFS to work with your Critic and Criticized Child. This allows you to heal these parts so they can support your self-esteem and confidence.
Develop an aspect of your Self that we call the Inner Champion to support your in work with the Inner Critic. The Inner Champion supports your self-acceptance and appreciation for yourself and encourages you to take risks.

Workshops
Inner Critic workshops provide one or two day experience of working on your Inner Critic in a safe, supportive environment. We use structured exercises that engage both our thinking and creative brains. There is intimate sharing in pairs and group discussions that can normalize and clarify our personal experiences.
Phone Classes
Inner Critic phone classes take place through a teleconference line which allows a number of people to talk together in a group. Each week there will be discussion of some aspect of the Inner Critic, an exercise using both our creativity and intellect, and a personal opportunity to work in pairs. The group will then join together again for feedback and processing.
See the schedule for specific dates for classes and workshops.
