I finally understood how to believe myself when i want to shut up my inner critic!

I have a super strong inner critic cause of how my mother with personality disorders brought me up. In my last therapy session, i had to do a role play with myself where i sat on the chair of my inner critic to talk about everything about which i feel bad about myself, and then switch to the chair of self-love. And on this chair, i finally understood it- no matter what my inner critic says, they are wrong simply because they are not neutral at all, just destructive, and blaming my whole person for every mistake i make - so i don't have to believe it! I can tell it to calm itself and let the loving, neutral parts in me talk.... like good parents who dont scold their child for a mistake but encourage it to look at the root of the mistake and look for solutions to do better. And the fact i seemingly have loads of mistakes stems from the fact that my inner critic took up so much space that i never had the energy to really work on my mistakes. So now i understood thar, i can actually "raise"myself!
