Does your Inner Critic have a lot to say? You’re not alone! Your Inner Critic takes its job seriously and shows up to remind you that you’re not good enough, you didn’t do it right, you should have said something different, you need to do better, be better, and work harder. When you dream of a different life, a new career, moving to another country, or chasing a dream, it steps in to tell you that it is simply too complicated and impractical and that you should keep your head down and stay the course. It doesn’t want you to get any crazy ideas about accepting yourself unconditionally because the power it wields will be wrested away from it. Once that happens, the possibilities are endless…for YOU, not for IT. Join me for the launch of GTO Freedom for Humans with my exceptional guest, Roland Williams: friend, colleague, addiction specialist, and all-around wonderful human. We will discuss the show's mission: to spread the word about the transformational healing power of unconditional self-love. We’ll discuss the Inner Critic’s origin and its role in addiction, relapse, and recovery and offer tips and practices for freeing yourself from its influence.
