Taming the Inner Critic - Training Video

The way we speak to ourselves can sometimes be harsher than anything we would ever say to another person - so where does our Inner Critic come from, and how can we begin to change the conversation?

Even when we are facing major life challenges such as illness, relationship breakdown or loss, some of our biggest battles can be with the messages going round in our own heads.

This approximately 2-hour instant-access online training explores the Inner Critic, the origins and impact of critical self-talk, and creative ways of helping clients recognise and respond differently to these internal messages.

Pauline Andrew shares practical and creative tools that can be used in the counselling room, while also inviting practitioners to reflect on and explore their own Inner Critic.

What you’ll explore

• Recognising the voice of the Inner Critic
• Where critical internal messages may come from
• The impact of critical self-talk on how we experience ourselves
• Exploring and challenging the messages we repeatedly tell ourselves
• Developing different ways of responding to the Inner Critic
• Creative tools and exercises for working with clients
• Opportunities to reflect on your own Inner Critic

What’s included

• Approximately 2 hours of on-demand video training

• Training handout and materials
• Practical exercises and creative therapeutic tools

Who is the training for?
