The Inner Critic, Anxiety & Depression

Individual Therapy for Anxiety & Depression

Is Your Inner Critic Holding You Back?

When your inner critic begins to hijack your life, it can hinder your ability to be present and experience joy during significant moments. Negative thoughts can push you beyond your limits or lead you to work to exhaustion.  Our inner critic can also make it difficult for us to connect with the world and prevent us from enjoying and forming meaningful, nourishing relationships with ourselves and others. Sometimes,  past painful experiences and trauma can fuel the beliefs of our inner critic, which can feed  anxiety and depression.  If so, it becomes common for that inner voice to be relentless, constantly second-guessing your choices and perpetuating feelings of self-doubt or never being good enough. In therapy, we’ll explore these emotions and the role your inner critic plays in amplifying them.

Whether you grapple with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, self-doubt, or negative thought patterns, there are effective ways to untangle these cognitive patterns and attain a greater sense of self compassion and peace. Together, we’ll delve into the thinking patterns and explore coping strategies that not only address the symptoms but also target the root of the issue – that critical voice within.   Your journey to reclaiming your inner strength and experiencing a more authentic and fulfilling life starts here.
