Description:
By James Elliott, Ph.D. with Kathryn Elliott, Ph.D.
The Inner Critic is an internal voice that not only criticizes you but also imposes “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts.” If you disobey these shoulds and shouldn’ts, your Inner Critic inflicts one or more of the following emotional punishments: feelings of defectiveness, guilt, shame, inferiority, and magnified fear.
- In other words, if you ecperience any of these feelings, rest addured they don’t come out of the blue. They come from your Inner Critic.
How can you disarm your Inner Critic? There are three methods that don’t work very well: 1. telling it to shut up; 2. relplacing its negative comments with positive ones; and 3. debating with it or disputing what it says.
- What does work is undermining your Inner Critic’s power by using Anthetic Releasing Statements. Jim and Kathy offer step-by-step directions for formulating and applying these statements.
Once you liberate yourself from your Inner Critic, your life will be free to unfold naturally, the way it was meant to. The disarming methods presented in this book are applications of Anthetic Therapy, a revolutionary new approach to overcoming the personal problems that people face every day.
Unlike most self-help books, this book offers more than a description of your problems. It presents dozens of methods for neutralizing your Inner Critic–the one log that keeps the logjam of problems in place.
As an introduction to Anthetic Therapy as an adjunct to your own work in therapy, the book presents Anthetic Challenging methods you can apply right away in your own life to get an idea of the power and effectiveness of this new approach.
Disarming Your Inner Critic is more than a popular psychology book; it’s also aimed at mental health professionals who might be interested in becoming Certified Anthetic Therapists.
