Releasing Internalized Criticism

How to stop carrying other people’s wounds as your own

If you’re hard on yourself, second-guess your worth, or replay critical comments long after they’re gone, there’s a reason for that - and it’s not because anything is wrong with you.

In this guided hypnosis session, I help you understand why some people criticize, judge, or bully, and how those experiences quietly shape your inner voice over time.

When criticism comes from parents, teachers, peers, partners, or authority figures, the subconscious often absorbs it as truth.

Those voices don’t disappear. They turn inward.

This session gently separates other people’s pain, insecurity, and unresolved issues from your identity. It helps your subconscious recognize that harsh words usually come from someone else’s wounds - not from your worth.

Rather than reliving past experiences, this process focuses on insight, emotional safety, and perspective.

As understanding replaces confusion, the emotional charge softens.

Old messages lose their grip.

The inner voice begins to shift from harsh and self-protective to calm, grounded, and supportive.

From an energetic perspective, releasing internalized criticism is powerful. When you stop bracing against judgment—real or imagined—your nervous system settles. Your vibration rises. You conserve energy instead of leaking it through self-doubt.

This session is especially helpful if:

• You grew up with a critical or emotionally unsafe person

• You were bullied, judged, or shamed

• You still hear old voices when you try something new

• You struggle with self-esteem, confidence, or people-pleasing

• You want to feel emotionally safer inside your own mind

As a hypnotherapist, I’ve seen again and again how much relief comes from one simple realization: you don’t need to keep carrying what was never yours.

This session helps your subconscious let it go.
