Richard Schwartz – Helping Clients Transform their Inner Critic from the Inside Out
“Helping Clients Transform their Inner Critic from the Inside Out,” offers a multi-faceted exploration of the inner critic, defining it as a normal yet often harsh internalized voice stemming from early experiences and societal pressures. Through diverse perspectives, the modules delve into its manifestations, from critical self-talk and physical sensations to protective functions and ego-driven behaviors. The program equips participants with a rich array of somatic, inquiry-based, and compassionate techniques, empowering them to transform their relationship with the inner critic and cultivate self-compassion. UltiMatély, this package aims to guide individuals toward integrating all parts of themselves for enhanced self-acceptance and well-being.
A Paradigm Shift:
This course is for therapists and healing professionals ready to help clients move beyond looping patterns of self-attack and into a more spacious, embodied relationship with themselves. You’ll learn to work with the inner critic not as an enemy to be silenced, but as a part to be understood and integrated through somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and deep relational repair. Because when the inner critic is met with compassion rather than more resistance, it begins to soften—and that’s when healing becomes possible.
