- You know the voice that tells you, you’re not enough, that judges and criticizes everything you do? That is our inner critic. Listening to this voice can take a toll of on our self-esteem and lead us to live life in a constant state of fear. One way I’ve been able to overcome my inner critic is by acknowledging it, identifying it and responding to it. Today, I share an Art Therapy activity to help you overcome your inner critic by building a relationship to it. If you decide to try this exercise, please share with me, I would love to see it!

Jestem początkującą arteterapeutką z Polski. Twoj kanał, Twoja postawa są dla mnie bardzo inspirujące! Dziękuję za to w jaki sposób dzielisz się swą pracą i przemyśleniami ❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing!!!!
This is awsome my inner critic has been beating me down hardcore for the past 9 months and I feel this may help a lot definitely.
This is beautiful 💜
I think your approach in art therapy is really good. I like that it's a step towards healing, not just analysing and acknowledging.
🙏💓😊
Such a great exercise!
Good program
Don't private this video it happened me a lot blessings to you 😘
This is a great activity!!! I am helping to run an expressive art group for adults and this is an activity that everyone can do (and virtually**) despite limited resources in their homes. Would love to see more activities like this that are perfect for virtual facilitation and require little supplies! Thanks so much Erica.
Thank you so much for the love! Let me know how it goes with your group! I just took a 2 week break but will be making weekly art activity videos 💖🙂
@@EricaPangArt This activity went GREAT! They really got in to it, we had some draw their critic as scary creatures and others draw high school bullies. For clients without paper or pen I had them describe their inner critic to the group and list the things their inner critic said to them, it was easy for all clients to get involved.
@@kaitlyn498 I am sooooo happy to hear this! It must've been so interesting to see everyone's version of their inner critic. Thank you for sharing the process!
Wow, good timing here. This activity is a great idea-- I remember about 10 years ago I was going through a lot of inner critique. I was on the road to recovery from bulimia and was feeling absolutely disgusted at my body, my presence, my size. One day I was crying and just grabbed a piece of paper and drew the "me" I was feeling like. The drawing was pretty ugly-- and pretty mean to my body. I found a huge release happened when I was finishing up and realizing that this unattractive caricature was SO FAR from anything that anyone could objectively see looking at me. I kept that drawing hanging up at my personal desk at home for a little while, as a reminder of the huge disparity between reality and how I feel when I'm not really checked in. I love that you've added the element of writing and reframing into this activity! ❤️️
Wow, thank you so much for sharing such a powerful story! Something must've guided you to grab that piece of paper. I am so glad it did and that it led you to a path of healing. Sending you so much love! 💖
Well! This was helpful. Thanks Erica.
I am so glad to hear that! I hope you try the exercise 🙏😊
Thanks for this. This help encourage me to think about modality of art therapy and the respect for all form of art!!
You're so welcome! 🙏💖
Your exercises have helped me so very much, especially when it comes to connecting who I really am, not who other people expect me to be.. thankyou 🧡
I am so happy to hear that! Sending you all the love and creativity 🙏💓
Thanks for the idea. I noticed that your inner critic character appears to be white and you appear nonwhite. Can you say more about that and if it means anything to you?
👍👍🙏
but am not visual So I have no picture of critic
What if the main inner critics is your mom and you don't even want to draw this thing?
Will it help me. I m scared beecause i dont want to behahave like kids. Because kids don't understand things because i m lazy and little childish i dont want childish behaivior
But the problem is when you agree with this inner critic and can't really find a solution when you say something like you are such an idiot what do you do then?
This not Dark Souls PVP video? Hows I end up hear? Sorree. Englsih not no grate.
