SUMMARY:Exploring the Inner Critic
DESCRIPTION:Parts on Paper\nA Three- Part Online Journalling Group10–24 September 2026 \nThree online gatherings with guided journalling between sessions. \n\nAn Invitation\nMost of us know the voice of the Inner Critic. \nIt tells us to work harder\, get it right\, stay in control\, fit in\, or never make mistakes. \nOver time these voices can become so familiar that we mistake them for the truth. We don’t just hear them — we become them. \nThis three-week journey is an invitation to slow that process down. \nThrough guided journalling\, conversation and curiosity\, we’ll begin to notice the different voices that make up our own Inner Critic and explore what lies underneath them. \nRather than trying to silence these voices or get rid of them\, we’ll become curious about them. \nBecause every critic has a job. \nEvery critic is trying to protect you. \nAnd every critic has a story. \nInspired by Freedom from Your Inner Critic by Jay Earley and Bonnie Weiss\, we’ll explore what I like to call the Council of Critics — an inner committee of protective parts\, each convinced its particular strategy is the best way to keep us safe. \n\nMeet Your Council\nTogether we’ll get to know seven familiar critics: \n\nThe Perfectionist\nThe Driver (Taskmaster)\nThe Inner Controller\nThe Underminer\nThe Destroyer\nThe Guilt Tripper\nThe Chameleon\n\nAs the weeks unfold\, you’ll begin recognising which critics are most active in your own life\, what they are trying to protect\, and how they came to take on these roles. \n\nWhy Journalling?\nWriting creates space. \nInstead of becoming caught inside the voice of the critic\, we can begin to notice it. \nWe can listen to what it says without immediately believing it. \nBetween our online gatherings you’ll receive guided journalling prompts to help you explore your own Council of Critics. \nThis isn’t homework. \nIt’s an experiment. \nAn opportunity to notice which critic is present\, what it is trying to protect\, and what happens when we respond with curiosity rather than judgement. \n\nWhat to Expect\nThe journey includes: \n🌿 Three live online gatherings — 75 minutes each \n🌿 Guided journalling between sessions \n🌿 A private WhatsApp group for the duration of the journey \n🌿 Reflections inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) \n🌿 A simple\, compassionate approach to understanding your inner world \nNo previous journalling experience is needed. \nOnly a willingness to become curious. \n\nGroup Schedule\n🌿 Opening Circle\nThursday 10 September 2026 \nMeeting the Council of Critics \n🌿 Middle Circle\nThursday 17 September 2026 \nListening to What the Critics Protect \n🌿 Closing Circle\nThursday 24 September 2026 \nLiving with Greater Awareness and Choice \n\nSession Time\nSouth Africa (SAST)6:00–7:15 PM \nCentral Europe (CEST)6:00–7:15 PM \nUS Pacific (PDT)9:00–10:15 AM \n\nContribution\nInternational\nSuggested contribution US$50–100 \nSouth Africa\nSuggested contribution R700–R1\,000 \nIf the suggested contribution isn’t possible\, please get in touch and we’ll make a plan. \n\nIs This Group for You?\nThis group is for anyone who recognises the harsh inner voice that criticises\, pushes\, compares\, controls\, or never quite lets them rest. \nYou don’t need to be “good” at journalling. \nYou don’t need to fix yourself. \nYou simply need a willingness to become curious about the voices inside and what they have been trying to protect. \nThis is what a previous participant said about her experience: \n\n“What a nourishing experience to be with you all. Thanks Ryan and Leeane for such a warm and encouraging space. \nThe suggestion of our critics as being sacred was especially heart-opening. It’s been very hard for me to relate to these parts and welcome them until now — even acknowledging them felt hard. It feels like a big shift.” \n— Naomi \n\nReady to Meet Your Council of Critics?\nIf this journey speaks to you\, I’d love to have you join us. \nComplete the registration form below to reserve your place. You’ll find contribution options\, payment details\, and everything you need to get started there. \nBefore our first gathering\, I’ll send you your Inner Critic Profile along with an invitation to our temporary WhatsApp group\, which we’ll use to share journalling prompts and stay connected for the duration of the journey. \n→ Register Here
