Silencing the Chatter: My conversation with my inner critic is an innovative and engaging representation of our worst enemy...ourselves!
This piece, written by Patrick Regan OBE, was created to reflect his experience with crippling self-doubt and anxiety surrounding his work.
When Brighter Days was launched in 2024, it was founded to enable people to flourish in all environments, but when the bookings came flooding in, so did the negative thoughts. After each session, Patrick would frantically scour the feedback forms for negative comments and fixate on them, seeing them as a reflection of his life’s work. However, to allow both Brighter Days and himself to succeed, he needed to reframe his perspective completely.
Pivoting to a more self-compassionate approach meant that Patrick could separate the inner critic and prevent it from sabotaging his work and overall mission. The hope for this piece is that as the themes of self-compassion, common humanity and mindfulness are unpacked, audiences are reminded to be kind to themselves, doubt their doubts, and understand how precious and loved they are.
