INNER CRITICS

"Inner Critics"

“We tell ourselves so many lies and half-truths ... We listen and are
duly impressed by these inner voices that turn into unseen judges that
nag at us. We give each of these judges a seat of honour in our minds,
all the while hating their guts and their never-ending supply of judgements ... We give the judges permission to accompany us on each journey of life, never daring to realize that we can park them, at least momentarily.”

-- Eloise Ristad

“The Inner Critic makes each of us a child. As we become the child in
our relationships, we lose our sense of self. We are no longer self-contained, self-respecting adults. We look to others for validation. Our self-worth is based upon their opinion of us. Thus, everyone around us becomes a mother or a father whose support and approval is desperately needed to protect us from the constant criticism of the Inner Critic.”

-- Hal and Sidra Stone
