Scenario

When your inner critic speaks in your parent's voice

My inner critic sounds exactly like my mother and it never stops telling me I am not good enough no matter what I accomplish.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The inner child internalized the critical parent as a way to maintain connection, making self-compassion feel like betrayal of the original bond.
