SUMMARY:Befriending Your Inner Critic
DESCRIPTION:A Three-Part Online Journalling Journey\n22 July – 5 August 2026 \nThree 75-minute online circles with guided journalling prompts and reflections between sessions. \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 become so familiar that we mistake them for the truth. \nBut what if they aren’t the truth? \nWhat becomes possible when those voices are no longer running the meeting? \nInspired by Freedom from Your Inner Critic by Jay Earley and Bonnie Weiss\, this journey explores what I like to call the Council of Critics—an inner committee of protective parts\, each convinced its strategy is the best way to keep us safe. \nTogether we’ll get to know seven familiar critics: \n• The Perfectionist• The Driver (Taskmaster)• The Inner Controller• The Underminer• The Destroyer• The Guilt Tripper• The Chameleon \nRather than trying to silence these voices\, 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. \n\nWhy Journalling?\nWriting creates space. \nInstead of becoming caught inside these voices\, we begin listening to them with curiosity. \nBetween our online circles you’ll receive gentle prompts that take just 5–10 minutes a day\, helping you notice your inner patterns and build a different relationship with them. \n\nTogether we’ll explore questions like…\n\nWhich critic has been running the meeting this week?\nWhat is it trying to protect?\nWhen did it first begin its job?\nWhat happens when you respond with curiosity instead of judgement?\n\nThe intention for the group is simple. It’s about becoming a little more compassionate towards ourselves\, softening the harsh voices inside\, and seeing what changes. I like to think of these journeys as experiments.  What happens when we stop believing everything our inner critic tells us? \n\nBy the End of the Journey\nYou’ll leave with: \n🌿 A map of your own Council of Critics \n🌿 A simple journalling practice to continue \n🌿 Greater awareness of the protective patterns behind self-criticism \n🌿 A more compassionate relationship with yourself \n\nSession Times\n🇿🇦 South Africa (SAST): 6:00–7:15 PM \n🇪🇺 Central Europe (CEST): 6:00–7:15 PM \n🇺🇸 US Pacific (PDT): 9:00–10:15 AM \nDates\n22 July \n29 July \n5 August \n\nContribution\nSuggested contribution is  US$50–100\, allowing everyone to participate according to their means. \nSuggested South African rate R 700 – R 1000. \nReady to meet your Council of Critics?\nComplete the registration form below\, and I’ll be in touch with everything you need before we begin. \nOnce I receive your registration\, I’ll send you payment details along with everything you’ll need before our first circle. \n→ Register Here
