    Yes! Befriending our inner critic and know that our core is perfectly okay. Personally, it's observing those thoughts and let them pass without believing in the lies. Unlearning the old patterns and reframe them and train to acknowledge them without judging them as bad/negative.
    Thank you thoughts and listen to the wisdom that it's trying to tell you. Know that you have the choice to shift your attention and question everything. Landing in my body and feeling present in the moment is helpful as well. Thank you, Dr. Caroline.

    Love your content❣️, is there a way to get your Christian content of mental health? The podcast seems more humanistic & Gods love and “brilliantly created” is what motivates me ❣️

    It is so true if we don’t deal with our inner critic it comes up again two fold.

    Where can I get the tree from

  • @caseyoung1527
    @caseyoung1527 Před 2 lety +2

    what we resist will persist
    we want to close the gap between what we're saying to ourselves, and the truth
    deconstruct and reconstruct that tree of thought. why am I telling myself this?
    this process takes time- 9 weeks

  • @andzani2296
    @andzani2296 Před rokem

    Dr. Caroline leaf how do you make sure the inner critic is not so toxic but pushes you to be a better person? How do you make sure the inner critic is overly critical of you ?

  • @caseyoung1527
    @caseyoung1527 Před 2 lety

    1. Gather awareness rather than suppressing the inner critic/intrusive thought to take back control. What is it about (general)? What am I telling myself (specific)? How often am I thinking this?

    @Mrs.LadeyBug Před 2 lety

    Dr. Leaf, is there somewhere I can start? There was a thing a couple years ago that I believe I’d paid for… I was supposed to write down things, and then rewrite. But I was 100% lost with it. I’m a genuinely intelligent human, honest. Haha! But this gave me utter frozen brain. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Is there a first video for that?

    • @Mrs.LadeyBug
      @Mrs.LadeyBug Před 2 lety

      Oh, yes! I had the app. I totally did not get the written thing. :(

    What happens when a client truly believes they are worthless and no amount of therapy convinces them otherwise?

  • @fountaingateministree6984

    Hi Caroline
    You are brilliant!!!
    I feel though you may be downplaying God a bit in all this? I know you love him. I was starting to get concerned by a few things you said but then when you said we can never get rid of fear completely I had to stop listening. We know that perfect love casts out all fear….as I know you know…but I guess you have found a way to downplay that statement.
    I am actually saying all this with care for you because I have enjoyed your content over the past 13 years on and off. I know God has set things up a certain way….but he can heal things in 2 seconds flat or quicker.
    Sending blessings and an abundance of love.
