MONIQUE CAUSTIC CRITIC

<p>Our new character this week is "Monique Caustic Critic" &nbsp;her Mothers name is "Nothing you could ever do is good enough Caustic Critic" and her Fathers name is "Put you down, keep you down, Caustic Critic.</p> <p>When we are raised with critical parents we take it on as who we are. &nbsp;This is so damaging but there is good news. &nbsp;This is not something that you have to wear for the rest of your life. &nbsp;Can you imagine that your mother didn't even like your laugh. &nbsp;This is so ridiculous. &nbsp;When we have to change ourselves so that we fit with their expectations to avoid being mistreated is a way to protect ourselves. Not only that we become like them we take on the inner critic and keep beating ourselves up. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This character also never acknowledged any progress that she made because of her Father. &nbsp;</p> <p>Monique came to realize that we are all unique including herself. &nbsp;When she was acknowledged and appreciated for her cookies she blossomed. This is so beautiful. &nbsp;Monique found out when you do something that you love it takes allot less effort. &nbsp;The great thing about this is that when you bring out your own kookiness' it is actually a blessing. &nbsp;</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/actinghouseofhealing/message
