The Inner Critic

In this episode of Stories From The Lost & Found, I explore where the inner critic comes from, why it can feel so convincing and how we can begin working with it through Internal Family Systems, subconscious healing and compassionate self-awareness.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the inner critic is often a protective part rather than a personal flaw.
• How early experiences can shape subconscious beliefs such as “I’m not enough” or “I have to be perfect.”
• Why fighting, silencing or arguing with the inner critic can make it louder.
• How Internal Family Systems helps protective parts feel seen, understood and safe enough to soften.
• The role of neuroplasticity and subconscious work in creating new beliefs and patterns.
• A simple grounding practice to reconnect with your body, cultivate curiosity and ask yourself, “What do I need right now?”

Your inner critic is not trying to destroy you. It is often an exhausted part of you that learned to protect deeper wounds in the only way it knew how. When we meet that part with presence instead of resistance, we create space for greater trust, compassion and lasting change.

Tune in to this episode to understand the voice beneath your self-criticism and begin building a more supportive relationship with yourself. Follow, subscribe and share the episode with someone who may need this reminder.
