Dear Katrine,

Yeah the inner critic didn’t do anything good for me anyhow so new approach can’t hurt.

Yes, some people think the inner critic is useful because it drives them to action, motivates them to change themselves. But it is never the case, because the real change can only start from the place of self-compassion and self-acceptance. Never from the place of “look at you, you suck, you better do something about it!”

Trauma work really is a lot hard work so i have to take breaks and rest as well.

What kind of trauma work are you doing at the moment?
