Embracing Your Inner Critic by Hal Stone

Embracing Your Inner Critic by Hal Stone

Hal and Sidra Stone are the creators of "Voice Dialogue" process, a therapy that transforms the inner critic from crippling adversary to productive ally.

The inner critic. It whispers, whines, and needles us into place. It checks our thoughts, controls our behavior, and inhibits action. It thinks it is protecting us from being disliked, hurt, or abandoned. Instead, the critical inner voice causes shame, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, and low-self-esteem. It acts as a powerful saboteur of our intimate relationships and is a major contributor to drug and alcohol abuse.

Through examples and exercises, the Stones show us how to recognize the critic, how to avoid or minimize "critic attacks," and, most important, how the inner critic can become asn intelligent, perceptive, and supportive partner in life.

Accepting Ourselves and Embracing Each Other is written by clinical psychologists Hal Stone, Ph.D., and Sidra Stone, Ph.D. Hal developed the Center for the Healing Arts in Los Angeles, which was one of the country's earliest holistic health centers. Sidra was the director of Hamburger House, a residential treatment institution for adolescent females in Los Angeles.
