Dealing with Criticism without Shame

Cat Waves: Welcome to the World of Cat Kabira

My question to you today is how do you deal with criticism without shame?

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist?

Are you highly critical of yourself or have history of abuse?

Listen to my audio where I talk about my experience with dealing with feedback.

For people that have strong self-esteem, when they receive feedback their reaction is neutral and they take it as it is.

This is not the case when you have gone through trauma, the reaction can be emotionally charged.

There’s a tendency to try to protect yourself or try not to hurt the other one with your reaction; which sometimes leads to feeling shame.

In order to function in our society, it’s necessary to practice how to ‘receive feedback’ and witness our reality in a healthy way.

In the work that I do, I teach how to create the space to heal your inner child wounds and deal with your feelings, especially the one of shame.

One way to deal with it is to look at yourself at those moments and start loving yourself in those moments with the realization that everything passes.

Knowing that you are allowed to make mistakes is a very important practice.

There’s always the opportunity to make things better as well and repair things; sometimes by simply saying 'sorry' and acknowledging that you've made a mistake.

I invite you today to bring tenderness to yourself and stop living as a perfectionist.

This is just a reminder that you can witness the pain moving to your body and let it be like a wave, moving through.
