Educational Guide

Everyone has an inner critic, but few have intentionally cultivated an inner coach. This worksheet uses the mindset technique of cognitive distancing—separating the self from limiting thoughts. By having the client script out the dialogue between their inner critic and their constructive coach voice, they learn to self-correct and build resilience under pressure.
