If you're a regular listener to our podcast you will have noticed that we regularly discuss how we might deal with different topics that show up in the coaching room. We recognise that everyone will have experienced some negative thinking about themselves from time to time and that's just part of the human condition. For most people this can be a little annoying or frustrating, and doesn't cause too much of a problem for much of the time. But there are times when, for some coachees, the inner voice becomes louder and more persistent. At times like these, this inner dialogue can become a barrier to a coachee's personal or professional growth and often has an adverse impact on their self esteem. This phenomenon is often termed the 'Inner Critic'. In this episode we explore the concept of the Inner Critic; what it is, how we might spot it coming up for a coachee, and what tools and techniques might be useful in the coaching room to help to quieten this unhelpful voice and allow other parts of our coachees' inner dialogue to be show up more often and be more noticeable.
