The inner critic is a concept used in popular psychology to refer to a superpersonality that judges and demeans a person. Usually experienced as the voice that supports the feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness and guilt; jealous and resentful of others successes, she cleverly undermines self confidence. As Critic, ENVY is a child-eating demon…beautiful & clever, sabotaging the very thing that has the potential to amend. This is why I keep her restrained. Being caged, she loses her destructive power and is transformed from demon to a resourceful arbiter.
“Beware the song
this Siren sings,
enchanting as it seems….
She lifts you up
with words of praise,
but leaves you on your knees.”
