Episode notes

negative experiences tend to elicit stronger and more pervasive responses than positive experiences. People with high self-esteem have been shown to be better able to accept criticism without it damaging their self-image. They can take on board constructive feedback, make changes where necessary, but still maintain a positive sense of self-worth. And self-compassion also plays a significant role in how we handle criticism.

Have you ever received criticism that left you confused and defensive, wondering what you could do better? How often have you felt personal attacks masquerading as helpful feedback? These experiences are all too common, leaving us questioning our self-worth and abilities.

Today's episode explores how we can navigate criticism in a way that fosters growth instead of damage. Listen as we explore the psychological effects of criticism, debunk the myths surrounding it, and share strategies to make it a catalyst for positive change within your life and work.
