Self-criticism can sound like motivation, but it often acts like a bully in the mind. It increases anxiety, fuels perfectionism, and can spill into relationships through defensiveness, people-pleasing, or constant self-doubt.
In this video, learn practical ways to stop the inner critic from running your life, including:
• How to separate accountability from shame
• How to switch harsh labels into behavior-focused language
• How to use a fair, respectful standard for self-talk
• How to choose one repair step that ends the mental loop
• How self-compassion supports real change without making excuses
If self-criticism is affecting your confidence, marriage, or daily functioning, counseling can help you build healthier patterns that last.
