DESCRIPTION:
How to befriend the Inner Critic with IFS Tara I read this book while I was taking Jay Earley's Inner Critic telephone class, and it has made a big difference in my life. There is much less of that critical, nippy voice in the background. And when something does activate my critic, I`m not so barraged by it. This has been quite a miraculous process. I am really taken by it.The book is very easy to read--simple, straightforward, and clear. It is quite approachable for the layman. Anyone can read it, get a sense of the process, and do the work.

They've found the perfect balance point by writing a book that isn't too dense in theory to be useful and isn't too superficial to have much lasting impact. Then, if you're someone who works with others, bring the book's practical wisdom to your clients. Please jump into this book and take on its activities, at first for yourself; they will bring you immediate relief and learning. Jame
This book contains key guideposts for the inner explorer in terms of what to expect when engaging inner critics I can fully endorse this most recent contribution to their important project of popularizing IFS.-- Richard Schwartz, PhD, creator of IFS. The Inner Critic is the part of you that judges you, demeans you, and tells you who you should be. The authors identify seven types of Inner Critics and how to work with each one. Self-Therapy for Your Inner Critic shows how to convert your Inner Critic into an ally using Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), a powerful new approach. It is a follow-up to Self-Therapy, a widely-used IFS self-help book, showing how to apply IFS to transforming the Inner Critic. You also learn how to evoke your Inner Champion, which is a magic bullet for dealing with the effects of Inner Critic attacks.In my work with people in a contemplative context, I have found self-judgment and harsh self-criticism to be pervasive, and often paralyzing and debilitating.
