Self-criticism and self-esteem
Many people carry an inner voice that is far harder on them than they would ever be on anyone else. It can drive you forward, but it can also make it hard to feel content, secure and good enough.
How it can feel
- Comparing yourself with others and almost always falling short.
- Finding it hard to accept praise or to feel satisfied.
- Fear of making mistakes or letting others down.
- Adapting so much that your own needs become unclear.
When talking can be helpful
- When self-criticism affects how you feel day to day.
- When you say no to things you actually want.
- When the pattern returns even though you understand it.
How we can work together
We listen to how the self-critical voice sounds, where it comes from and what it may be trying to protect you from — without judgement and at a pace that feels manageable.
We then work on new ways of treating yourself, both through concrete changes and by understanding the emotions and experiences underneath.
