The inner critic holds us back and causes a lot of pain. I can help you begin to understand how it operates and some ways to disengage from its judgments and criticism. I can meet with you once to give you some basics for your particular situation to get you started, or we can meet a few times while you read the book, "Soul Without Shame: A Guide to Liberating Yourself from the Judge Within". I've worked intensively with this book, its author, and related teachings in my own life. This is not a quickie-solution, but a way of working toward more inner freedom and self-awareness, and of defending against self-critical thoughts at the moment they arise.
