Silence Your Inner Critic with Tracy Taris

On this episode of Flourish-Meant, host Tina Yeager speaks with psychotherapist Tracy Taris about silencing your inner critic. Tracy provides insight into how we can notice when something isn't good for us and suggests developing a relationship with God and his word through daily bible reading to prompt the Holy Spirit to guide us. They discuss the different voices we hear, including self, Satan, society, and the savior Jesus Christ, and provide tools to calm down negative voices and tune into positive ones. Tracy emphasizes the importance of having the word of God in our hearts and growing in a relationship with the Holy Spirit through reflection and introspection. They also encourage values clarification and using centering prayer to clear the mind and tune in to one thought or word. Tracy reminds us that engaging with God's Word is a process that is different for everyone, requiring daily commitment and showing up. The episode ends with the reminder that knowing ourselves and being in alignment with our values and the voice of the savior allows for the ability to move forward and fulfill our purpose.
