Why You’re So Hard On Yourself

Are you really hard on yourself? Do you have high and unrealistic expectations? Do you criticize yourself anytime you make the smallest mistake? Are you a perfectionist? Do you beat yourself up and speak harshly to yourself? Are you your own worst critic?

In this episode, you will learn:
