Working With the Inner Critic

Description

All of us occasionally bump up against our inner critic. It

is only too happy to tell us what we did wrong and how we can do better. Although it is a part of our “normal” psychological makeup, it often speaks in a coercive, demanding tone. As we go through our lives, we subtly and not so subtly orient ourselves to abide by the wishes of this power. Usually it operates unconsciously, like a hidden rudder. The purpose of this class will be to bring more awareness to this process, and by understanding it more, have more freedom from its coerciveness. We will use the tools of meditation, psychodynamic exercises, inquiry and discussion to bring it to our consciousness and see it for what it is in a personal way for each student.

Class size limited to 12 people.
