Inner Critic
Alternate three chair exercise: the (Inner) Critic, the Coach, the Compassionate Observer.
The Critic and the Coach are two sides of the same coin. The edge of the coin is the Compassionate Observer, holding the two (seeming) opposites together.
| The Critic | The Coach |
|---|---|
| Don't get worse | Keep getting better |
| That wasn't enough | That was an improvement |
| You should have done better | You can do better |
| You're not good enough | You're not good enough |
| Looks at what I didn't do | Looks at what I did |
| Looks down on | Looks up at |
