About this episode
<p>How kind is your inner voice? What does it say to you when your with friends, having family dinner, at work, when you mistakes, or, when you look in the mirror?</p> <p>We all have an inner critic and for lots of us, that voice can be loud and relentless - holding us back from thriving, from living the life we want to live and being the person we want to be.</p> <p>In this episode of the IMPERFIX, we jump back into an episode with Dr Em and get up close and personal with ‘our inner critics’.</p> <p>In this snippet we explore the role of the inner critic, what’s its purpose? How can we learn to live with, and maybe even befriend it.</p> <p>To listen to this full episode with Dr. Em, follow this link: <a href="https://apple.co/3XaFdw9">https://apple.co/3XaFdw9</a> </p> <p>Links mentioned in the episode:</p> <p>📺 Things to watch</p> <ul> <li>Shirzad Charmine’s Ted Talk, ‘Know Your Inner Saboteurs’, click here: <a href="https://bit.ly/2Ybu5Aa">https://bit.ly/2Ybu5Aa</a></li> </ul> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>Daniel Siegel <a href="https://bit.ly/3TnNVV5">https://bit.ly/3TnNVV5</a></li> </ul> <p><em data-stringify-type="italic">The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
