This is the space to share what comes up for you as you work through The Shaming Witness and the Inner Critic.
In this module, we connect everything so far. The shame lens, the messages, the Antenna Effect. And we look at the voice inside that keeps it all in place. The inner critic. She can be loud. She can be subtle. And most of us have never stopped to really listen to what she is actually saying.
🤍 What is one thing your inner critic says to you on repeat? You can share the actual words in quotes if that feels safe, or simply describe the theme: "She tells me I am not doing enough" or "She says I should have it figured out by now." Just naming what she says is the first step toward hearing her for what she really is.
And if this one feels hard, that makes sense. We have spent a long time believing that voice is the truth. Seeing her as separate from you, even for a moment, can feel disorienting. Take your time with this.
If someone else shares, and you feel moved to respond, a simple "I see you" or a "🤍" goes a long way. That is unshaming in action.
