108 – Introduction to the inner critic and its types Nov 20, 2016

Show notes

(duration 19:27) This is the beginning of our series about the “inner critic,” wherein we delve into the various facets of this internal dialogue, which essentially lacks self-acceptance, self-compassion, and self-love. Different kinds of inner critic have been distinguished based on their patterns. Understanding their nature in relation to the nature of the self assists in gaining a healthy perspective. We explore those categorized by therapist Jay Early, who noted seven types: perfectionist; guilt-tripper; underminer; destroyer; molder; taskmaster; and, inner controller. Of course, there are developmental reasons for these critics, even though they come with sizable costs, which we’ll comprehend in upcoming episodes.

107 – Unconditional self-love Oct 23, 2016

Show notes

(duration 23:33) We return from an extended summer hiatus to discuss the nature of unconditional love and unconditional self-love. The internal dialogue with ourselves needs explicit attention and understanding, in order to become more integrated and loving. What does it mean to put conditions on love, and what does forgiveness mean—and how does this relate to self-love? Imagine a world in which children’s self-worth is unconditionally accepted, which means that their persons are honored for who they truly are, without judgment of good or bad, or right or wrong. Now, imagine having your child-self treated with unconditional love. This is a process you can cultivate within yourself, so that you learn to treat yourself with kindness and compassion.

Here’s a sentence stem to complete with 6-10 endings for more insight, especially more subconscious understanding…
If I can practice unconditional self-love, I might…

106 – The importance of taking time-in for yourself Jul 25, 2016

Show notes

(duration 21:53) In this episode we discuss the nature of intrinsic motivation to heal and grow, which entails focusing on one’s developmental history and practicing the mental essentials of self-acceptance, self-empathy, and self-compassion. Doing this inner work can be quite challenging, and it can be easy to get distracted and focus on other things. Psychological success is vital to our overall well-being. We need to cultivate a loving relationship with ourselves, so our needs don’t often get sacrificed. A life filled with meaning and happiness is within your reach.
