What is the “Inner Critic?”

Have you ever wondered why you behave the way you do in stressful situations? What is that deep inner motivation that drives us? The quiet voice we all hear from time to time is what Chris Salem calls, the “Inner Critic.” On this episode of #SellingWithSocial, Chris and I discuss the concept of the inner critic and how to understand and trace it back to key moments in our lives. Chris says that the inner critic contains both a negative and positive voice, he explains that because we are more apt to focus on the negative, that’s the voice that typically shines through the most. Taking it even further, Chris shares that often the inner critic’s negative themes have a root to a particular moment in our life that caused an impact, both large and small.
