The Role of the Inner Critic

The internal voice of self-criticism often drives perfectionist behavior, but it also leads to dissatisfaction.

• Jordana Confino shares, "Perfectionism doesn't just make you strive for better results; it creates a fear of not being enough."
• Practical Tip: Recognize that the inner critic isn't an accurate reflection of reality. Confino suggests practicing "self-distanced compassion" to step back and view challenges with objectivity.
