Relevance: You will gain an understanding and a tool for helping your clients shift their inner negative parent voice from an adversary to a vital and supportive ally.
You can also use this with your own inner critic, which will increase your self-esteem in many areas of your life, including your professional life.

Brief description: As you'll see by the schedule that follows, in this training we will interweave watching a video, by psychologists, Drs.

1. Identify the Inner Critic's major complaints and find their origins
2. Practice listening non-judgmentally to its comments and connecting to its role as an ally in the early years
3. Appraise the underlying anxiety of an Inner Critic and explain how to hear and deal with the cry for help beneath its attack.
4. Practice using other selves to balance the power and the potential destructiveness of the Inner Critic.
