Title: Difference between Inner/Outer Critic?
Post by: Lifecrafting on August 01, 2015, 08:41:09 PM

Hi All,

I just registered with OOTS today and am looking forward to learning how to help myself so THANK YOU in advance for sharing your experiences and knowledge!

I just started reading Pete Walker's book Complex PTSD; I was in tears by page 11 so I know it will do me good....

I've been reading here about inner & outer critic. Is the difference between the two that outer critic is vocal (towards myself or others) while the inner is the "beating myself up voice"?? Can you help me with this?

I think that in Pete Walker's scheme the inner critic is the part that finds undue fault with oneself and the outer critic is the part that finds undue fault with others. But they would both be inner voices. :)

UNDUE fault. That makes sense. Thanks Mourningdove!
