YOUR INNER CRITIC 

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

The inner critic shows up differently for each one of us.  By completing this worksheet, you are invited to reflect on questions about your inner critic.  This will help you to think through where it shows up in your life, and, what impact it is having.  It will help me to gain a deeper understanding so I can better support people manage their inner critic.

YOUR INNER CRITIC SIMPLY EXPLAINED

The inner critic is a term used to describe a subpersonality that judges and demeans a person.  Common examples include:-

• A critical voice for example when you get something wrong or don’t do what you are going to do (you never could stick to things, you are lazy, you always give up)
• A disparaging voice when you are trying to do something new or scary (who do you think you are, you could not do that job/make that speech/nail that interview etc.)
• A worrying voice examples are, this is isn’t going to work, I can’t succeed at this, I won’t be able to get that job, I’m never going to have time to do x)
• A voice convincing you to stay in comfort rather than do what you want to do (i.e. getting out of bed, attending your gym class – remember this voice can sound kind, oh  you are so tired you probably should just say in bed)
• Can you think of any more?

THANK YOU for completing this worksheet, I hope it has helped you to consider the inner critics impact in your life.  It will be saved anonymously and used to help develop tools and products to support people to manage their inner critic.
