Silencing the Inner Critic

COURSE

Course description

Many of us have a tendency to be excessively self-critical, self doubting, and lacking in confidence. These debilitating thoughts can affect our relationships, our work, and our ability to realize our full potential in life. In this course, we will learn how to use Buddhist insights and wisdom to free ourselves from self critical thoughts and attitudes and recognize our potential for limitless inner peace and mental freedom. We can prove to ourselves that this "inner critic" is a just mental distortion coming from our misconception about who we really are and so it can be eliminated completely.
