Being your own harshest critic can feel productive, protective, even familiar, but over time, it becomes less of a motivator and more of a cage. In this episode, we explore the psychology of self-hatred - where it begins, how it becomes a deeply ingrained, and what it actually steals from us over time. 

We explore:

•        How early experiences shape the inner critic
•        Why self-hatred can feel protective
•        The myth of cruelty as a motivator
•        The neural pattern of self-hatred
•        The role of self sabotaging
•        6 practical tips to build a better relationship with yourself
