Transforming Our Relationship with the Inner Critic
<p>In this episode, Najiba and Rehenuma discuss the inner critic and how to work with it to foster self-compassion and a greater sense of ease within ourselves. We discuss the three stages of the nafs described in the Quran, and then take a deep dive into contemporary approaches to working with the inner critic, which serves as the mouthpiece of our ego. We touch on various approaches to name and tame the critic, from Voice Dialogue to Internal Family Systems.
