So this idea that we don't want to be ostracized and actually so many people who seek therapy is because of their social anxiety, for example.

It's very common, this fear of being excluded.

So our inner critic is protect us.

To help us not do the wrong thing.

And it sounds like it's come from a place where perhaps it was quite dangerous to do the wrong thing, but we've moved on.

We've evolved, perhaps not evolved, but we're now living in times where it's not so dangerous.

Is that what you're saying?

In a way that our critic once upon a time had a place and today doesn't have such an important part?

Yeah.

So we could find a way to be compassionate to that part of us that is in the prehistoric days and hasn't updated its software.

It's still thinking that we're running around being chased by mammoths.

I don't know if we ever lived with mammoths.

Probably not, actually.

We didn't.

That was a long, long time ago.

But anyway, chased by something horrible.

So we can be compassionate to that part of us that still lives and that is sort of

really thinks that terrible things will happen.

Is that useful?

Yeah.
