Many of us have a negative inner critic that can be deeply upsetting and discouraging. Compassion-focused therapy can help people find kindness and compassion toward themselves and others. It is possible to work through feelings of shame and self-criticism, tolerate distress better, balance difficult emotions – and handle the inner critic. Counselling is a great place to start finding ways to support yourself, to forgive yourself and others, and to find a path forward. MaryMunro.ca
