Oh my goodness, I definately have an inner critic that sometimes completely takes over - darn her. My T frequently talks about this part of me and it's something I'm trying to work out too. We wonder - a lot - where this part of me comes from, maybe also my father. He was very distant, I was aware he didn't want children and he has a criticism about most people. My mother compensated by being protective and we had a fairly isolated childhood. Maybe because we didn't get to spread our wings I now believe I can't do anything without someone inside telling me I can't for some reason or another. I am one of those people who won't put her hand up in class in case I get it wrong and look silly. Got to work on that.

I know this is a bit rambly but just thinking 'outloud' really. Might start my session tomorrow with this topic.
