Our inner critic can be much worse to us than the original offender was. Because we think if we are harder on ourselves than they were to us we will be more equipped to handle the adversity and pain. We believe it will hurt less when others do it. But, when we have a fierce inner critic it is impossible to be authentically ourselves.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to making friends and being vulnerable we have to dim down the voice of our inner critic. Because our inner critic creates fear and doubt within ourselves and puts up walls, masks, and facades. But, when we show up authentic and honest we are lovable. We fit right in.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remember, childhood wounds are not something we heal in a few days. Part of the healing is to become aware of our patterns and practice transforming them.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We heal the sister wound by getting honest and vulnerable with our sisters.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listeners of this show are invited to attend a free training session from Steven Kessler.
