How to Be a Wise Loving Parent to the Inner Critic

As children, many of us were not taught the value or practice of having emotional awareness. In adulthood, we can begin cultivating our own emotional regulation through observing how emotions feel in our body. Practicing intentional breathing is one way to co-regulate with a loved one or pet. Cold therapy allows you to get very present to your breath and that starkness of the cold. It's also an opportunity to be a wise loving parent to the inner critic.
