Quieting the Inner Critic: Softening Shame

In this video I share two approaches to exploring your inner critic, releasing bodily sensations around shame, and cultivating the bodily sensations of confidence. Shame is a big topic that can be more deeply explored in a Somatic Experiencing session or therapeutic setting. This video offers some simple tools to begin the process of self-inquiry around inner shame.
