Episode 3 - Taming the Inner Critic - Part One

Women Physicians Flourish. A Podcast About Life and Wellbeing

In this episode, Rebecca discusses the neuroscientific basis for the inner critic - a runaway part of the phonological loop - how it arises, how to recognize it, and how to begin untangling from this dysfunctional aspect of a helpful, natural phenomenon that develops as we learn language as babies. This work can allow us to become free from unhelpful critical thoughts that we internalize from our environment throughout our lives. It can allow us to be more willing to take healthy risks, to grow, and to take exciting leaps into greater things. It is also an essential tool for building the capacity for self-love and compassion, which in early episodes we have established as prerequisites for wellbeing and flourishing.
