The inner critic is something we all have. It has been our ingrained, habituated thinking for so long that it tends to become background noise; something we dont question or see as a problem. In small doses, self-criticism can be useful; it tells us where weve gone wrong and what we need to do to make things right.
The Seven Types of Inner Critics The Perfectionist. The perfectionist has high standards- unrealistically high standards. The Taskmaster. The Taskmaster values hard work and productivity above all else. The Inner Controller. The Underminer. The Guilt Tripper. The Destroyer. The Conformist.
