    About this ebook

    Hal and Sidra Stone are the creators of "Voice Dialogue" process, a therapy that transforms the inner critic from crippling adversary to productive ally.

    The inner critic. It whispers, whines, and needles us into place. It checks our thoughts, controls our behavior, and inhibits action. It thinks it is protecting us from being disliked, hurt, or abandoned. Instead, the critical inner voice causes shame, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and low-self-esteem. It acts as a powerful saboteur of our intimate relationships and is a major contributor to drug and alcohol abuse.

    Through examples and exercises, the Stones show us how to recognize the critic, how to avoid or minimize "critic attacks," and, most important, how the inner critic can become asn intelligent, perceptive, and supportive partner in life.

      The book gave insights how my mind is being conditioned. The root of inner critics and where it came from. Some of the inner critics has been living like a parasite for a very long time.So when there is trigger, it will become active in the inner critics. The author also gave guidance how to transform inner critics into helping us to grow.

      Currently reading. This book is a very powerful guide to how to develop your Aware Ego and not have your moods and actions dictated by your primary selves (Inner Critic, Pusher, Pleaser, Perfectionist, etc.).
