Taming Your Inner Critic with Avni Panchal, LCSW

​The way you talk to yourself shapes everything, including your confidence and mood, your choices, and the risks you’re willing to take.

​If you’ve ever felt held back by self-doubt, constant second-guessing, or a harsh inner voice that never seems satisfied, you’re not alone. That critical inner commentary isn’t a personal flaw; it’s a pattern you can understand and change. With the right tools, you can reclaim your sense of possibility and relate to yourself with more courage and compassion.

​This free community workshop is your invitation to pause, reconnect, and learn a new way of responding to the voice inside that tells you you’re “not enough.”

​With guidance from a licensed therapist and the support of others who get it, you’ll explore:
• The seven types of inner critics, how they operate, where they originate, and why they believe they’re protecting you.
• How to recognize which critics tend to run the show in your life and the stories they repeat on autopilot.
• Practical, research-backed strategies for quieting self-criticism and creating new inner narratives that strengthen self-worth.
• Tools to cultivate genuine self-compassion so you feel more grounded, more confident, and more aligned with the life you want.

​You’ll leave with much greater awareness and tools that will help you boost self-esteem, cultivate self-compassion, and tame the inner critics that live inside all of us. 

​This event is about 90 minutes long, with cameras on. Participants are encouraged to introduce themselves (first names only), and share as they feel comfortable.
