Working with Your Inner Critic | My Therapist's a Witch, Episode #1

Thanks for joining me for the first episode of my new podcast! On this episode I share practices that have helped me work with and calm a harsh inner critic. This is particularly important for people who struggle with depressive disorders like #pmdd. I also explored how cultivating a spiritual practice can provide you a space of calm and relief, feeding the inner nurturer and allowing you to push back against the inner critic.
