When You’re Guilt-Ridden

Psychotherapist and best-selling author helps her students and clients manage these five types of Inner Critics: Restless Inadequate Perfectionist Guilty Victim “The GUILTY Inner Critic makes you feel like everything is your fault.  You hold onto all the mistakes of your past, and all the times you have hurt or disappointed someone.  You  punish yourself for what your Guilty Inner Critic tells you that you’ve done wrong, and you believe you are a bad person for it.  You feel that you can't allow any self-forgiveness.  You try to gain acceptance and affection by helping, pleasing, rescuing, or flattering others.  You often lose sight of your own needs and can become resentful as a result .” Joann Kleinman I invite you to consider these questions: When do you assume that everything is all your fault? What do you blame yourself for doing or being? When do you neglect offering yourself forgiveness or compassion? When does guilt motivate you to people-please, rescue, or flatter others? How fearful are you of disappointing others? When do you notice tipping into “good” and “bad”, or “right” or “wrong” labeling? When do you fixate on worst-case scenarios?
