Lecture: To outgrow the inner critic
The inner critic – the entity in us that devaluates and debases much of what we say, feel and think – is not only a superfluous censor that precludes us from living. It also serves the maintenance of old structures and thought patterns. Originally the inner critic arises as a self-censorship helping the child and the adolescent not to relapse in the vitality and unchecked spontaneity that the adults don’t like. It’s function therefore was protective.
The more we grow and want to create our lives the more the inner critic become dispensable. It is a conservative instance that obstructs love and shining.
