The Myth of the Inner Critic with Melanie Swan
Manage episode 382508363 series 2951658
This week we're myth-busting! The Inner Critic is a popular name for that inner voice who is known to tear us down when we're 'PMNS-ing', but Melanie Swan, womb medicine woman at @the_sacred_womb wants to realise this isn't normal, its not something we should learn to work with, but is in fact one way trauma shows up in our menstrual cycle.
Melanie and I are talking about this myth of the inner critic: why it happens, how to heal it, and Melanie shares an easy, practical, beautiful exercise that you can do straight away towards the end of this episode to connect in with your womb and this voice.
Melanie goes deep on:
- How this inner critic has evolved into being, and why we relate to this voice as an inner critic,
- How it's related to trauma that's held in the body, and
- How we can work through patterns that are coming up in this lifetime and past lifetimes as well to understand the origin of this inner critic,
- As well as how to release it's hold from our lives and cycles.
So if you experience what you call an inner critic voice, particularly in the pre-menstrual phase of your cycle - or at any other phase as well - then this is going to be a really great one to listen to.
Come find me on Instagram and leave a comment! How does your inner critic show up? Can you connect with it as trauma? Has it felt like something you just have to accept and live with? Are you curious about past life healing through the womb?
Let me introduce Mel. Besides being a Midland gal from the UK like me, Melanie is a Womb Medicine Woman and Multi-dimensional trauma healer who helps women to come home to their true nature by embodying the multi-faceted menstrual cycle, healing multi-dimensional trauma & co-creating with the divine through the portal of the Womb. Ooh how amazing does that sound.
