TAMING YOUR INNER CRITIC AND SABOTEUR
“THIS COURSE HAS TAUGHT ME MORE ABOUT MYSELF IN 4 WEEKS THAN I'VE LEARNED IN MY 20 YEARS OF LIVING. IT WAS A VERY SAFE, OPEN SPACE TO COMMUNICATE OUR FEELINGS. IT TURNS OUT WE CAN ALL RELATE TO EACH OTHER'S FEELINGS. I NEVER KNEW THE IMPACT MY INNER CRITIC WAS HAVING ON ME EVERYDAY AND THIS WORK OPENED ME UP TO THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING A MUCH MORE POSITIVE AND CALM LIFE. SANDY AND AMAR MADE ME FEEL SO COMFORTABLE SHARING WITH THE GROUP AND HELPED ME REACH MY FULL POTENTIAL OF SELF GROWTH EACH WEEK. I'VE MET AMAZING, LIKE MINDED PEOPLE THROUGH THIS COURSE AND I ENJOYED IT EVERY WEEK. I'M VERY EXCITED FOR THE UP AND COMING COURSES THAT I KNOW WILL BENEFIT SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE.”
Inner criticism and self-sabotage are two sides of the same coin. They are formed as part of a normal upbringing. However, your inner critic and saboteur can rip into your sense of self and can keep you from living a meaningful life. Often your inner critic and saboteur disconnect you from the positive and beautiful parts of your life, which in turn impacts every aspect of your being, from creating anxiety and depression to the experience of imposter syndrome in your professional life. There are many other ways that inner criticism and self-sabotage impact you, but these illustrate the concept (even though you are all too familiar with your own!) The impact of inner criticism and self-sabotage radiate outward and colour every experience you have, from trying new activities and meeting people to feeling unable to express your real needs in relationships. Sadly in all cases of suicide, there is a ruthless inner critic that motivated the action.
“THIS COURSE IS IDEAL FOR YOU IF YOU WANT TO MOVE FORWARD IN YOUR LIFE BUT CAN'T SEEM TO MAKE THE PROGRESS YOU KNOW YOU'RE CAPABLE OF. IF YOU'VE FELT THAT YOU'RE HITTING 'INVISIBLE' BARRIERS, OR MAKING SIMILAR MISTAKES REPEATEDLY AND CAN'T SEEM TO CHANGE THINGS - THEN YOUR ANSWERS MIGHT BE HERE. BE PREPARED FOR UNCOVERING LAYERS OF YOURSELF THAT YOU DON'T EVEN REALISE ARE HOLDING YOU BACK AND WATCH YOURSELF GROW AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE INSIGHTS AND TECHNIQUES GAINED FROM THIS COURSE. AMAR & SANDY ARE A WONDERFULLY BALANCED TEAM WHO PROVIDE A SAFE AND INVITING SPACE FOR VULNERABILITY AND LEARNING.”
Most people don’t know that the foundations for the inner critic and saboteur are laid in our earliest experiences of life; from our birth experience to three years of age. In this course you will explore the inner critic and saboteur both from an interpersonal neurobiological perspective and as archetypes. For those unfamiliar with the term, “archetype” is a concept ascribed in Western thinking to ancient Greece via Plato’s concept of eidos, often translated as Platonic forms, but refined in our context by the Swiss-born father of Depth Psychology, Carl Jung. This cross-disciplinary approach supports the blending of modern, evidenced-based knowledge with embodied and experientially grounded learning.
THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT PEOPLE AT ALL STAGES OF THEIR JOURNEY OF SELF EXPLORATION.
“I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND A LOT ABOUT ARCHETYPES IN GENERAL SO I THINK FOR ME THE BIGGEST REALISATION WAS THE EXISTENCE OF THESE ARCHETYPES AND THE SEPARATION OF THESE FROM 'SELF' AND THEREFORE ABILITY TO OBSERVE AND MANAGE THEM. OBVIOUSLY SPECIFICALLY THAT WAS IN RELATION TO THE INNER CRITIC, SABOTEUR, ORPHAN AND INNER CHILD. I FOUND THE PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORY BEHIND IT REALLY USEFUL. THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THESE ARCHETYPES FUNCTION AND IMPACT MY DECISIONS/ACTIONS WAS CRITICAL IN BEING ABLE TO ADJUST MY APPROACH AND BEHAVIOUR TO ALLOW GROWTH GOING FORWARD.”

“I LOVED THE DIFFERENT WAY THIS TOPIC (THAT I THOUGHT I KNEW QUITE A BIT ABOUT!) WAS APPROACHED. SANDY AND AMAR BROUGHT A RICH, INFORMATIVE YET ALSO DEEPLY PERSONAL APPROACH TO THIS COURSE; LEARNING ABOUT OUR INNER CRITIC, ITS ORIGINS AS WELL AS OTHER ARCHETYPAL ASPECTS OF SELF ALONG THE WAY. I REALLY ENJOYED THE OPEN AND DYNAMIC GROUP SHARING, THE EXERCISES WERE VERY VALUABLE AND THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION WAS ENOUGH TO KEEP THE INTELLECT STIMULATED WHILST DIVING INTO THE LAYERS OF SELF. THESE INCLUDED AT TIMES REVEALING HIDDEN MEMORIES, VULNERABILITIES AND PAST HURTS; ACKNOWLEDGED AND SUPPORTED BY AMAR AND SANDY IN SUCH A GENUINE, CARING, NON-JUDGEMENTAL WAY THAT MADE ME FEEL SAFE WHILST ALSO ALLOWING SPACE FOR MORE TO BE UNCOVERED.”

IN THIS COURSE YOU WILL LEARN:
Some basic neuroscientific, developmental and interpersonal neurobiological insights into how the inner critic and saboteur are formed and why they impact you the way they do.
Practical tools to disallow your inner critic and saboteur from derailing your forward momentum in life.
Reconnection with your inner child.
How to befriend your inner critic and saboteur and gain powerful new allies.
Understand “Upper Limit Problems” as a form of inner criticism and self-sabotage.
Repair of your self-esteem.
Explore the way your culture of origin may create a strong (but dissonant) sense of who you “should” be and what you “should” do.It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
“I SPECIFICALLY ENJOYED THE FEELING OF SECURITY AND EASE THAT IS VISCERAL DURING, AND LONG BEYOND EACH SESSION. THE COURSE STRIKES A GREAT BALANCE BETWEEN COGNITIVE LEARNING, GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THE BODY AND THE WAY IT IS FEELING, AND GROUP SHARING WHICH LEADS TO AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
