A discussion about: Your Inner Critic: Friend or Foe? | Thrive
When used wisely, our inner critic can be a valuable tool to navigate life. But it can also become a gatecrasher if we allow it to. Expressing constant destructive criticism and disapproval only to make us feel personally inadequate.
The article is informative. The author concludes:
So is our inner critic friend or foe? Our loyal ally or our ruthless enemy? It all depends on what we decide to make of it. So what’s it going to be?
May we all nurture a friend.

The Seven Types of Inner Critics
Transforming Your Inner Critic - Personal Growth Programs

There isn’t just one Inner Critic part; most people have a number of self-judging protectors that operate in different ways. We have identified seven types of Critics with different motivations and strategies for controlling you. Take a Quiz to determine which of the seven types of Critics may be a problem for you. For each Critic type that you score high on, you can read a report that describes that type of Critic and gives a brief idea of how to begin transforming it. You can also read about the seven types of Critics.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
