Matthew Schilz is the owner and psychotherapist at MindWell, LLC. Do you feel like you’re constantly fighting thoughts of self-doubt and criticism? Your inner critic is constantly patrolling your thoughts and actions, replaying memories, and ruminating on mistakes. Our inner critics arise in times we don’t have the resources to cope with what is happening around us. Even while friends, family, and colleagues may offer words of encouragement and praise, your inner critic remains loud. I work with folks who want to redefine this experience and untether from the weight of self-judgment, shame, and inner conflict.
