Self-Criticism [methods to manage the negative impacts, understand the experiences, and help yourself to feel better]
Criticizing Ourselves What is self-criticism? We all experience a concept called "self-talk." This is not the same as experiencing auditory hallucinations of voices and not the same as responding to internal stimuli of a hallucination, and also not the same as talking to ourselves out loud. Self-talk is the verbal internal dialogue that silently goes on and on in our heads throughout the day. This CAN be spoken out loud, and in that case it is talking to oneself. Internally. Self-talk can be neutral- "hmmm, I wonder what I will cook today, I have a lot of groceries and am not financially strained, I want to choose a healthy meal to stay on track with my nutrition plans, but I know I am trying to control eating fatty foods..." Self-talk can be positive- "hmmm, I am doing very good on making healthy choices for my body, I did great by exercising today even though I did not feel up to it, I am sure I can stay on track..." Self-talk can also be negative- &quo
