44. How to tame your inner critic

In this episode…

I interview Judy Byrne on the inner voice that criticises you. You know, that voice that talks you down, discourages you, tells you how much of a loser you are, let’s you know you’re not enough, don’t do enough, and that you’re worthless… That voice!

She guides you through a tapping round to soften that inner critic, and gives you plenty of suggestions on how to break down the inner voice and start to create an inner cheerleader.

Now how empowering would that be to have in your life?

Judy’s bio:

Judy is one of the only 29 EFT Founding Masters in the world. She is a therapist, trainer, author, supervisor of therapists, and international presenter on EFT. While she used EFT as her main modality she uses it interwoven with an eclectic mixture of therapy tools drawing on her trainings in psychotherapy, clinical hypnosis, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT). She also weaves Neuroscience and Mindfulness into her client work and has a particular interest in working with trauma.

Quoting Judy:

“What’s no big deal to someone at 40 might be a huge deal to them at the age of 4. Try to assess things that you remember as they would have affected you as at that age. Don’t say “that was no big deal.”

A question I am asked most frequently, is “how long will it take to overcome my social anxiety?”.

And the short answer is that it depends on your situation. But most people can overcome the bulk of your social anxiety in 1-2 months, investing about 30min of tapping on the right issues.

I’ve created a PDF to help you shorten the journey, and to uncover some of the right issues to target your tapping at. This PDF is based on coaching socially phobic clients since 2009, and it’s called “12 Shortcuts to Social Confidence”.

Each shortcut shortens your journey, getting you social anxiety-free much faster.
