Workbook: The Loving Voice Within. How to Tame Your Inner Critic to Stop Punishing Yourself for Your Mistakes and Find Freedom

You do not need an inner critic. It only seems that it can motivate, push you, and prevent you from missing something important. In reality, the only thing it can do is exhaust you with unfounded claims and devalue your achievements. Anastasia Kulikova, a practicing psychologist, created a course on taming the inner critic. More than 800 people have gone through the training. With this knowledge, you, like others, will be able to cultivate a loving and supportive voice within yourself, as well as: - learn where dissatisfaction with yourself comes from and why you struggle to cope with it; - confront the voice of the Critic and realistically assess its claims; - reduce anxiety and the feeling of constant dissatisfaction; - accept your mistakes and imperfections. “So much has been said and written about the inner critic that compresses our life to the size of a keyhole. In our minds, we understand perfectly well that it provides us with much that we need, but how can we make it not an enemy, but an ally? This is a deep workbook that, practically like an entire book, step by step helps you find yourself in the point of 'now', not getting stuck in the past and not flying away into the future. I am sure that the reader, deeply experiencing themselves on each page, through questions, examples, and insights will uncover the beauty and power of their awareness.” — Yulia Bulgakova, psychologist, coach, author of the book “Allow Yourself to Feel”
