Calming Your Inner Critic Worksheet
Most of us have an inner voice that comments on our actions, choices, and sense of self. Sometimes, this voice acts as a supportive guide, but often, it becomes an inner critic—harsh, judgmental, and unforgiving - like my inner critic. Left unchecked, our inner critic can erode our confidence, fuel self-doubt, and keep us trapped in patterns of fear and hesitation.
Because, what if our inner critic wasn’t our enemy? What if, instead of trying to silence it or push it away, you could understand and transform it into a source of wisdom and self-compassion?
This 10 page worksheet will guide you to:
Recognise the voice of your inner critic and its patterns
Understand what it is trying to protect you from
Shift from self-judgment to self-compassion
Reframe negative self-talk into encouragement and support
Cultivate a healthier, more balanced inner dialogue
You’ll see that your inner critic is not here to harm you—it is just a part of you that needs understanding, reassurance, and guidance. When integrated, this voice can evolve into an ally that strengthens your resilience, encourages growth, and supports you in becoming your most authentic self.
Contains two exercises, insights, and ten therapeutic journaling questions to integrate your inner critic. This worksheet will take around an hour.
