Summary

Sometimes the loudest critic, our biggest hater is not someone we know, it is ourselves. We are the ones who are the first to judge ourselves, to shut ourselves and our ambitions down, to say the nastiest things. In today's episode we break down why we are our own worst critic, including:

How we learn self criticism in childhood
The evolutionary component to criticism
The role of the super ego
The role of comparison
Why no one is really looking at your that closely
How to embrace radical self compassion and acceptance
How to use cognitive diffusion, and much more

This episode is a rerun whilst Jemma is recovering from an illness. We will be back on Friday with a brand new episode.
