True to You, vrijdag 20 november 2026
Listening to the Inner Critic
Sometimes our mind says things that make us feel discouraged or put down. This is our inner critic, and most of us know what it sounds like.
*"“You should have done better!”
“You’ve been an embarrassment…”
“This isn’t good enough… do better, work harder!”
“Don’t bother. People like you don’t have a chance.”
“Stop being lazy! Everyone else is ahead of you.”*
The ways we try to quiet it might help for a bit, but the struggle often returns whenever the inner critic appears.
In the Listening to the Inner Critic workshop, we will spend time getting to know our inner critic, approach it with curiosity and kindness, and learn how to respond in helpful ways whenever it appears.
In this workshop, you’ll:
- discover the most common types of inner critic and see which ones you recognize in yourself
- understand why your inner critic is so harsh
- learn ways to lessen the impact your inner critic has on you
- find out how to respond to your inner critic and bring out your inner champion
Laura tells a bit about herself
Hi, I'm Laura Curta. I'm a psychologist with over 5 years of experience creating interactive workshops on emotional wellbeing. I am trained in positive psychology and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My goal is to help make psychological wellbeing services affordable and accessible, and to bring people together through workshops.
In my free time, I read, go to the gym, spend time with loved ones, and try to quiet an overly active mind :) I love nature (just not the bugs), and I'm an early riser who loves oatmeal with chocolate and raspberries.
I hope you'll give the True to You workshops a chance and until then, I wish you all the best!
