Positive Psychology Hour — How to Transform the Inner Critic: From Foe to Friend
Positive Psychology Hour — How to Transform the Inner Critic: From Foe to Friend
Virtual. Positive psychology teaches us how to harness optimism, compassion, and character strengths to enhance our happiness and resilience.
Our thoughts can be our worst enemies, and they can also be our best friends. We’ve all got those voices in our heads that hold us back, stress us out, and limit our growth: “The Judge”, “The Pleaser”, and “The Procrastinator” to name a few. We’ll learn science-backed tools to help you quiet the voices of your inner critic. Create new neural pathways and habits of mind to engage your self-compassion, wisdom, and potential for positive action.
