It would be horrifying in that we would never want others to hear it, right?
And yet here we are, day in, day out.
There's so many of us on this planet sort of treating ourselves so badly.
Why are we so mean?
You quoted Jason Ruama, and I suddenly remembered many moons ago, he did some work looking at the difference between self-hatred and self-criticism.
And
And I was struck by that because I didn't realize there was a difference.
But he found that there is a group of individuals whose inner critic is so loud.
It's like disgust.
It's not shame.
It's disgust towards themselves.
And then there's a group who have this sort of inner critic where it's more shame.
And those who have that disgust, it's much harder for them to feel any compassion towards themselves.
Do you have any thoughts on that, that difference?
Is that something that you've seen or worth exploring?
Because I've seen it in the room, in the clinic room, where some people are just not ready to feel compassion and to see it more as a coach because they have this really strong self-hatred.
Like it's so, so strong.
So maybe let's talk a bit about values, how to know what truly matters, because we touched on it quite a lot in the podcast, but this idea that our critic is there because there's something about what we're doing that feels really important and we don't want to get it wrong.
We don't want to mess it up.
We don't want to upset someone.
