The promised algorithm for working independently with the internal critic. Suitable for cases when the internal critic is too zealous and covers you with waves of self-flagellation, accusations, comparisons that are not in your favor and discourages any desire to do anything .1. Where is your part responsible for criticism? Some people call it the inner critic, but you use the wording that resonates specifically with you. The part may be somewhere in the body, around it, nearby. Mentally place the piece somewhere in the room, look at it2. What does your inner critic look like? What does it look like, what kind of image does it create? What size and color is it? What does his voice sound like when he is bothering you?3. Ask the part the following questions. Where and when did it appear? In what situations does it appear? What does it want for you? What is its purpose? There is no need to analyze anything, just imagine that it can really answer you and allow these answers to arise in your mind. If the question the goal asks for an answer like “to finish you off so that you fall into apathy, to enrage you,” then this is your answer, not the part. You are used to perceiving it as a pest, so you consider such remarks to be the most logical. Meanwhile, not a single part of the personality wants it destroy. She achieves something positive, but chose a method that does not suit you. So, from the attitude that the part is your friend and helper, you ask the question what it wants and what goal it is pursuing. When you receive an answer, your task is to come up with other ways to achieve this goal and offer them to your part. For example, part wants you to do better. Then you tell her that a lot of criticism makes you not want to work at all and offer another way: let her encourage you when something works out and you have the enthusiasm to continue in the same spirit. Or she really wants to point out what is worth to correct. Then you agree that she criticizes constructively and specifically. Not “you’re always messing up,” but “next time, let’s pay attention to the speed/brightness/gestures/words/presentation.” After concluding the contract, all you have to do is thank your part for their cooperation and care for you and... continue to live. You will be surprised, when you find yourself in high spirits after a couple of weeks and ask: hmm, where did all this swearing at your own expense go? Then thank the part responsible for the criticism again and continue in the same spirit. Pamper my part with a like, let him see that it’s not in vain that we’re trying
