Working with Inner Criticism
Online, once in 2024Skills, insights, and tools to deepen your ‘inner critic’ work – for therapists (and therapists-in-training).
Inner criticism is THE psychological issue of our times.
It’s a long-term process both in the individual and the culture, and there are no quick fixes (sorry).
But there are more (and less) effective ways of working with it.
Who is it for?
This course is for therapists and therapists-in-training who recognise the need for a good grasp on inner criticism theory and practice in their client work.
It’s also for people who like to learn both theoretically and experientially.
All modalities are welcome, no prior knowledge of Process Work is needed.
What you’ll learn
- How to identify the subtle (and not so subtle) signals that inner criticism is at play.
- The psychodynamic pattern and role structure of inner criticism that help you work with it.
- A range of creative techniques and interventions to use with inner criticism.
- How to discern what kind of techniques to use when (and when not to work on inner criticism).
- How the client’s inner criticism process entangles with the therapist’s own inner criticism process (we’re not immune of course).
