Your Sensitive Shadow Archetype is The Harsh Self-Critic

The Harsh Self-Critic: You have a tendency to hold yourself to really high standards. You’re probably quite conscientious, detail-oriented, and thorough (thanks high sensitivity!). BUT the shadow side of this is that you tend to be really self-critical. You hate making mistakes and doing things imperfectly. Your inner critic is loud, always pointing out the things that you’ve done wrong and you often struggle with feeling “not good enough”.

This may result in:

• Feeling uncomfortable in social situations as if you don’t belong in the room
• Allowing others to treat you disrespectfully because you’re self-critical and deep down, don’t always feel worthy of love and respect
• Experiencing imposter syndrome whenever you want to try something new

Check out the mini-training below for my tips on how to work through this!

How To Move Forward & Heal Your Shadow (quick recap!)

First and foremost, work on healing your self-worth. You need to understand WHY you are so hard on yourself and where you’re attaching your personal worth and value to how much you do or how perfect you are.

You can begin healing your self-worth by looking at old patterns of where low self-worth beliefs formed – typically it was in childhood when we felt different and rejected for being HSPs. Inner child work is huge!

With the Harsh Self-Critic Archetype, you need to show yourself that it’s SAFE to be imperfect… that it’s safe to rest, say “no”, and not always have the right answer. You can do this by taking messy, imperfect action and then regulating your nervous system through the discomfort of this experience to expand your nervous system's window of tolerance, ultimately showing yourself that you're safe.

Ready to start healing your self-worth? The Worthy Mini-Course is an amazing place to start! In this mini-course, you'll learn how to raise your self-worth so you can get off the emotional rollercoaster of second-guessing yourself and step into feeling regulated & unbotherable.
